@cmatthes, if that Foghat/BOC show was at the Spectrum in 1981 or 1982, Whitford/St. Holmes opened. Diane and I were there.

Carlos gets a lot of talking time in the documentary movie We Want the Funk. It's funny when he explains how he got fired from James Browns band because he missed a chord. Then he found Bowie.

 

Thanks for this.  I watched We Want The Funk last night.  It's well worth it, and Carlos is entertaining, for sure.

I wish that was the one I caught!  Mine was ‘81 with Foghat (and Shooting Star) opening…in the glorious Wicomico Youth and Civic Center.  I think we went with Kevin Moore, Carla Varisco, Debbie Hobbs and Kristen Luiken.  That part is a little vague!  😂

I believe that was the same tour. Those names are some I haven’t heard in a long time…Wicomico was a great venue!

The actual museum is great. I went there because I ended up in Cleveland on an afternoon with nothing to do. I'd always swore I wouldn't bother going, but someone told me to not let the induction ceremonies turn me off to giving the museum a shot. One is really just a group jerk off session for a bunch of self-nominated cool kids. The other is well curated and quite good. 

 

This! Very cool exhibits, worth the trip.

Yes.  Been there twice and if I found myself in the Buckeye State again, I'd go a third time.

Lol, Shooting Star played at one of my junior high dances in KC. They were really good, this was before they released 'Hang On For Your Life'... I remember standing near the stage, watching that Leslie spin up and down. Very cool!
