Hello Hooray, I think- from Billion Dollar Babies. He opened the show with in in June '73.

Correcto John! Bit o' trivia... back in the days when we put annoying sounds bits on websites, when you clicked on the first NNL East website (hosted on AOL) you'd hear "Hello! Hurray! Let the show begin! I've been ready!"

You put your right hand in,

You put your right hand out,

Umm, I thought that would be cheating. I guess were not playing by the same set of rules. What's to keep everyone from just googling the lyrics?

honesty and the spirit of competition.

Nobody got it?

It's "California Uber Alles" by the Dead Kennedys.

the only think I could think of was knocking at your back door by deep purple. couldn't get past that.

I believe you're right--and I saw him do it live, too! (I think ZZ Top was the opening act, if you can believe it.)

I remember that tour. that's probably when Z Z top used live animals on stage. the animal people stopped it because the noise level was detriment to the animals.

In '74, I saw Spooky Tooth, followed by ZZ Top, followed by the Edgar Winter Group (with Rick Derringer). Don't remember the first; ZZ Top was three guys, two with beards, that were a bit monotonous and Edgar and his band put on a good show ("Frankenstein" and "Free Ride"). Cobo Hall in beautiful Detroit, MI.

ironically, the one who cant grow a beart in Z Z Top is the drummer, Frank Beard!!

I saw Edgar Winter in '74 (I think) with Rick Derringer, and I believe Johnny did a brief cameo too. I think the opening act was Brownsville Station. They were much better than their one-hit-wonder status might indicate. I bought two of their albums--good stuff!

one-hit-wonder?

marton boogie, Mr Robert, country flavor... c,mon!!!

More lyrics, anyone? Easier than my last one that no-one got yet!

The little children laugh at him behind his back

And the banker never wears a mac

In the pouring rain

And I love this one, especially the version his girlfriend recorded (extra gold stars if you name them both!)

The jacks and the queens

Have forsaked the courtyard

Fifty-two gypsies

Now file past the guards

In the space where the deuce

And the ace once ran wild

It's actually a pretty interesting story, the various theories about the origin... The best one is Al Tabor, a British band leader wrote it during WWII. Maybe the first recording was by the US group, the Ram Trio in the early 1950s. There are bits and pieces of it that go back to the 1800s according to the wiki article.

“They say that these are not the best of times

But they're the only times I've ever known"

Styx?

Nope.... this is one of my favorite lines from a song...and a bit of how I've seen my life. Should be an easy one! Hint- its the first two lines of a song...
