Westside Steve's Movie Reviews

  • I once watched Lenny Kravitz (very early in his career) open for Tom Petty at the now gone Richfield Coliseum. I enjoyed the show, but 95% of the crowd wanted Kravitz out of their asap so they could see Tom Petty.

    I told my dad about it the next day and he remarked that crowd comments can crush an inexperienced performer. Kravitz seemed to take it in stride, and does a bit of acting, too.

    I also saw Tony Carey/Planet P in the same billing as Night Ranger and 38 Special, which would seem to be more of a non fit but the crowd was pretty warm to him/them.

    I love Tony Carey. He's at least 1 of my top 10 favorite artists.

    Planet P doesn't seem like a huge mismatch, though I'm not a fan of Night Ranger or 38 special.

    Yea, he did.

    I once went to a concert where Golden Earring was to open for Procul Harum....but Golden Earring cancelled.

    (that would not really have been a bad mismatch though.

  • Can't touch OBF's, but think I've told the story of Dan Hicks and His Hot licks sandwiched between Redbone and Steppenwolf at Cleveland Pub Aud.

    Year was 1971... I don't remember Fanny playing (my date and I got there late... 🙂  ), but they'd have added another layer of at least misalignment.

  • Went  to a show once at like the Allen Theater.    KISS opened up for the New York Dolls.

    Its not so much that that was a mismatch,  but the billing should have been the other way around.  KISS did their whole grand crazy KISS thing....with the flames and the smoke and everything....but in a small venue.   While I always like the NYD,  face it, the energy level in the room went way down after KISS was done.
