I saw Suzi Quatro open for ALice Cooper for Welcome to My Nightmare Tour. The music playing when Suzi was about to come on was Elton John's "The Bitch is back". The music stopped and the announcer said, The bitch is back, please welcome Suzi Quatro!

 

1.Say it with me O-T-I-S-R-E-D-D-I-N-G !! Now here he is Otis Redding !!!

Simply the greatest intro from the greatest live LP RocknRoll has ever produced

3.The Who @ Dallas Memorial Coliseum 1970...

Are we ready to Blow The Roof Off This Joint?!?! Battin down the hatches , lock all the doors & hang on to your chicks , Dallas welcome Englands ferocious & very virile Who !!

A more realistic intro of early 70s Who you will never hear...

Not on a official LP but I was 4 rows back at the show just the same

 

The Beatles on Ed Sullivan...

 

Of course this is my favorite. A brilliant start to the album.

 

I always liked Bill Graham's intros.... the Allman Brothers intro from Winterland in '73 that ended up in the "Brothers and Sisters" re-issue is a good one.

 

Señores y señoras:
Nosotros tenemos más influencia con sus hijos que tú tiene,
pero los queremos.
Creado y regado de Los Ángeles,
¡Juana's adicción!

 

Kirk West introducing Gov't Mule is always cool

 

"You wanted the best, you got the best..."

 

One , Two , Three , Faah !

Damn near perfect intro

 

One hundred and ten percent mind-bending!

And it couldn't have happened to a groovier group!

Mr. Whatever...!

 

It's a great record too.

Blakey, Horace Silver, Clifford Brown...!
