Badfinger was my first.


I feel old.

I never got to go to a concert until the fall after I graduated high school in 1985. It was Klymaxx, Con-Funk-Shun, and The Barkays all on the same show. The Barkays were the headliners.

Klymaxx came on first. These girls could really jam and Bernadette Cooper talked plenty of shit. Then Con-Funk-Shun came on and rocked the house for awhile.

I remember perfect strangers passing joints down the row for everyone to hit and the people next to me gave me Jack Daniels to put in my coke I was drinking. By the time The Barkays came on, I was fucked up. Larry Dotson had straight hair back then with a blonde streak and he was slinging it and cussing every breath. (Just the type of show I like ). Some of the other Barkays had hair shaved up on side and one of them had platinum blonde hair.

For the finale, The Barkays did "Freakshow On The Dance Floor". I looked at Larry and saw something long and brown swinging between his legs. I told my friends "Damn that's a big ass dick!" Then Larry squatted and pulled it all the way out from between his legs and behind him. It wasn't a big ass dick, it was a 12 foot python. Larry swang the snake over his head like a lasso and acted like he was going to throw it into the audience. The audience up front scattered. He put the snake down on the stage. As the snake slithered across the stage, Larry snapped his fingers and fire shot from his hand. Then he put the snake's head in his mouth and bobbed his mouth up and down on it's head like he was giving oral sex.

The Barkays definately put on a "Freakshow" and they got totally fucking off!

btw,my older sister was in love with RFTW and she took me to this show.

DavidEye said:

That would have been a good show. I missed experiencing that Bay Area treasure, but I've heard lots of stories about that place.

Didn't anyone catch the (Swatch) Fresh Fest?

You know the first concert I wanted to attend my mom wouldn't let me. I was the triple threat tour: Prince, The Time, and Vanity 6.
