and because I've been to a football game recently (and besides, it's just fun):

Never heard that, but it's right at home in the 80's stream we've had going.

Y'all are killing it on the 80's front the last several pages.  My listening-via-headphones-at-work experience has improved dramatically.

Hugh McDonald (1995 -current) is a much, much better bass player than Alec Such, and in fact Hugh is who you hear even on all the old Bon Jovi records except for the first one (and who you're hearing here).  But I have to say, I really miss Alec's soaring vocals and what he brought to the band.  When you hear somebody singing right above JBJ that sounds a lot like him, that was usually Sambora.  When you hear somebody singing in the rafters where the birds can't even reach, that was Alec Such.

Speaking of the Sugar Hill Gang, this was the first rap song I ever heard.


The odd thing about it, is that I heard it, or something very like it, about 9 months before it was recorded.

I was in boot camp at Fort Benning from mid-February to mid-May 1979, and some of the Black and Puerto Rican guys in the company would sing something a lot like "Rapper's Delight," which wasn't recorded until 2 Aug 1979 and wasn't released until 16 Sep 1979 (per Wikipedia).

I got to hear Bon Jovi live twice.  Really good show both times.

By the mid 90s I was pretty much done with the large arenas and festivals though.  Aside from the free shows I see during the Formula 1 races at COTA, it's pretty much all small clubs and dance halls and honky tonks for me nowadays.

I really like Rapper's Delight.  I like a lot of old school rap, and not so much new stuff.

It's possible that they'd performed it before they recorded it officially.  Someone might have even had a bootleg copy?

I have a cassette tape, dubbed from a friend's cassette tape, that was a bootleg version of a live show Van Halen played for somebody's birthday in the LA area, back when they were called "Mammoth."  It was most of what was later recorded on Van Halen I a year or two later, but it had a couple of songs that were not on Van Halen I or any other album ever recorded by Van Halen.  And, of course, it had DLR singing "Happy Birthday" to whomever was the subject of the party.

It was really cool, but of course it suffered the same fate most cassette tapes did when stored for too long in my car in Texas during the summer.

I like it too. Early on, apparently, East Coast (NYC) rap was mostly fun stuff like "Rapper's Delight," while West Coast (LA) rap was more violent and thuggish.
From afar, it seemed like it had all gone more violent by the late '80s.
Debby Harry was involved in getting the Sugar Hill Gang together according to the Font of All Wisdom and Knowledge. One can see how "Rapture" could evolve into outright rap.

That worked out.  Bon Jovi was pretty much done by the mid 90's as well.

Ever since posting them here a couple weeks ago (or maybe utee did first, don't remember) I've been on a Van Halen kick.  I've been listening to them a lot, which happens to me sometimes.  Eventually it wears off and I'll go back to other stuff and not hear them for a while.  It sounds crazy to say, given how big they were, but I think they were actually underappreciated. 

Anyway, I came across this, and thought I'd share for anybody who's interested.  Quite a bit faster than the album version.  Also, Alex VH is grooving more like an R&B guy, which.....I don't think I've ever heard or would've said, prior to hearing this.  I mean, he's clearly a rock drummer here, but his touch and feel is quite different than how it ultimately got recorded and released.

Obviously, the irreplaceable talent in VH was Eddie. That said, hearing Alex do the "and here's the avalanche caused by all those notes" meant you weren't just listening to a soloist.
David Lee Roth's vocals were not much more than talking. But here's the thing: They were what the band needed. VH is fun first. Plenty of talent, but first they were fun. You knew what they were about, and eagerly blasted them out of an IROC-Z, at the lake, in your bedroom, or any other place that you wanted to feel like you too were part of the band and a rock legend!
