On this we agree. Journey with Aynsley Dunbar was as different from the Steve Perry incarnation as Fleetwood Mac was in their blues days vs the arrival of Stevie Nicks and her Wiccan fantasies.

Or Molly Hatchet in the Danny Joe Brown days (flirtin') vs Steve Farrar

TIL about Jose' Meiffret who road a bike at 127mph

José Meiffret’s 200km/h Bike Ride

To be fair, he had a truck driving ahead of him blocking the wind. Still, I don't want to think about speed wobbles at 127mph...

Did 145 on my 750 Turbo and worried about speed wobbles.

TIL that the 34 mph achieved on my e-bike the other day was not a world record----yet it was quite a thrill.

Were you tumbling down a cliff at the time?

Awww sookie sookie - y’all are making me feel adventurous. Don’t make me pull out my PEXMOR (adult mountain tricycle). It’s sweet too - with all the bells and whistles. No, like, literal bells and whistles.
Mountain.

Yes and Journey helped enlarge their fan base and appeal by appearing as one of the Rolling Stones opening acts on their record-breaking 1981 U.S. /world tour in old S.F.'s Candlestick Park, Philly's JFK Stadium, and IIRC, a few other huge stadium gigs here in the U.S. and Canada. George Thorougood also opened a few of those shows, too.

That 1981 Rolling Stones U.S. tour was sort of that last gasp of the Stones still being seen or perceived as a band that teenagers and young rock fans would listen to and not be viewed as sort of older, "bygone act" from the 1960's and 70's. After this record-breaking tour, drummer Charlie Watts would unfortunately develop a pretty nasty herion addiction that would last most of the 80's and while the Stones would release two more studio albums during the 80's, a nasty personal rivalry would develop between Keith and Mick between their ongoing solo albums and that would prevent the Stones from playing any more shows until 1989. By the time the mid-80's arrived, while they may still have had a vibrant large amount of younger fans, the Stones werent really marketed to "MTV Generation" teens or rock fans in their early 20's, but as a band mostly for adults.

Living Colour opened for the Stones when I saw them during Steel Wheels and put on a much better show IMO than Mick Jagger strutting around like a chicken.

Yeah, by 1989, Mick was reaching 50 years old and the band hadn’t performed or rehearsed much in over 8 years since their celebrated 1981 US/world tour and in fact, had experienced some serious creative differences, personality conflicts between Jagger and Richards that very nearly broke up the band. In retrospect, it’s actually a bit of a miracle the band didn’t break up in the late 80’s due to all these variable tensions that had persisted for years.


A younger, tighter, rawer band like Living Colour probably was going to blow the Stones off the stage by that point just like Lynyrd Skynyrd had done nearly 13 years before at Knebworth in summer 1976.

TIL that the Dakota building in NYC, in front of which John Lennon was killed by a deranged lunatic (is there another kind ?) and where Yoko Ono lived for literally over 50 years, until a few months ago- that same building’s HOA/board rejected as tenants- Madonna, Cher and Billy Joel….. i guess i can kinda understand rejecting the first two (though I wouldn’t mind them as neighbors).. but how ya gonna reject Billy friggin Joel ?? Was it some kinda Long Island bias ? It’s not like he hailed from Staten Island or something .. i dont get it .
