Whelp, here’s another obscure one for the strange-days files! This video is crazy. This crowd is freakin nuts. I thought the California Jam crowd and the North Carolina Speedway crowds were the largest televised events that BOA were a part of. Boy was I wrong. THIS CROUD IS IN THE MILLIONS....and they’re setting it up. I’m completely blown away that I’ve never even heard of this particular show. They’ve played Mexico recently (within the past 5 or 6 years) and said it was a great show, but I never heard it compared to any other Mexico gig.
This is during the Shawn Lane days, when dad was the only original member left at the time. The late great Shawn was a guitar virtuoso and had joined the band at age 14 in 1979. So during this show in 1980, he was ONLY FIFTEEN effing years old!! WHAT! That’s 15 people. Wow. That’s insane! Imagine playing for millions in other countries when you’re only 15...crazy. Well, eventually, Shawn decides to leave BOA when he is 18, and do his solo project, remaining friends with dad. A few more new people enter BOA in the 80’s. With guitarist John Roth, bass player Mr. Mogambo, and drummer Cozy being strong players in my childhood memories. The awesome Rickie Lee Reynolds will also join back around that time too.
Whelp, more to come! Thanks for watching! And PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!!
