Very cool Doug. Any chance you could show off some of the other work-related memorabilia you've collected through the years?

Broadside
Hey Doug, nice snag. My mother in law did the same thing on the campus of UC Berkeley in 1959. She had it ever since until she gave it to me to frame. I think the musical spectrum has now been covered between Metallica and the Trio...

Yes, we have gone full circle.

The best part about the circle is that the first time I ever saw a band perform live was when I saw the Kingston Trio at Disneyland.
True story. My parents didn't smoke cigarettes, but I loved watching Captain Kangaroo, and currently I have lots of things to do. Doug PS - that is a great sign Andy Last edited by doug.goodman; 03-22-2020 at 01:25 AM. |

Not to be that guy, but to go full circle, we need to pass through Iron Horse's bluegrass version of Enter Sandman.

I was outside the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago May of 1986, waiting to get in to see Metallica, when from above us (about 1-2 stories up) came this liquid. Luckily it was beer and not something else.
Cliff Burton (Metallica's bassist) was hanging out the window opening and pouring beers down upon us fans and laughing. And shit we were like 15 or so, so to us FREE BEER. Cliff would die about 3-4 months later when their tour bus flipped, but that day in May I still can see it and was awesome!!!!! Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 03-22-2020 at 09:10 AM. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7Jw_v3F_Q0 That is a very cool broadside...they were certainly an interesting group in that they were basically the first to make Folk Music hip...although they only rolled strong for about five years starting in the late 1950's...They had the raw talent but it was their manager Frank Werber who first saw it and groomed and molded their ability...even crafting stage banter into their act... Many years ago I had the pleasure of helping them to their rooms at the hotel I work at...I really only recognized Nick Reynolds...the short one with the crew cut...but barely as he was bald and used a cane...As I recall they put on a concert in a tent on property and I was called to pick them up after they finished and get them to their room...I don't think hardly anyone my age knew who they were because they had long before then waned in popularity...even by the time I was in high school....but I knew who they were...But I'm one of the few my age that's been to a Four Freshman concert LOL...anyway I think I asked Reynolds where were their striped shirts in jest...they all just laughed if I recall...I remember helping Reynolds into his room and he had a little standard room...He didn't seem to care...and he was very upbeat...The last surviving original member Bob Shane just died January 26th 2020...over the thirty two years working that job I've seen some interesting things...

I was working at a collectibles show in Massachusetts and met Ray Manzarek from the Doors (one of my favorite bands from my youth). I was outside on a cigarette break (I've since quit) from my booth where I had some antiques and collectibles set up for sale. Ray,who was there signing autographs,came out and asked me for a cigarette. Of course I obliged and gave him one. We ended up talking for a few minutes about the Doors movie and other Doors related stuff while we smoked. I was pretty star struck and babbled like a 16 year old girl. He was really cool though and asked if I wanted an autograph when we both went back inside the show. I said absolutely!!
He went back inside and continued to sign autos for different people at $20.00 each. I stood at the end of the line waiting to get him to sign a photo for me. When he saw me,he motioned for me to come to the front of the line and signed it for free. He was a really nice guy,very down to earth. Last edited by edtiques; 03-27-2020 at 04:21 AM. |

Extra credit to whoever can give the stage name of the member of a band who Slayer obviously looked up to musically who did not make it to the show that night. Doug "confusing questions on demand" Goodman |

Ozzy!? - hahahaha, not even close
Glenn Tipton - right instrument, wrong band, and that's his real name. I'll have to dig out my 1980s Priest tour program that I got Glenn and the rest of the band to sign... Hint - the band name is written on the guest list... The Cliff Burton era Metallica put lots of effort into living up to the well earned nickname "Alcoholica". The first time I was at the Aragon was for the Venom / Slayer / Exodus show on April 5, 1985. Yesterday I talked to a buddy of mine who I met at that show.

Testament is one of my all time favorites. Saw them on Slayer's last tour here in Nashville 2 years ago, they were awesome! New album releases this Friday, sounds amazing from what I've heard so far.

Metal Church! I'll have to dig out my pictures from the shows they did with Slayer in Jun of 1984 at the Mountaineers Club in Seattle (with Wild Dogs) and Rock Palace in Portland. They had only played a few live shows prior to that. Amazing. I saw them various other times, but the show noted on the ticket below is QUITE famous, for reasons that will be our next trivia question, why is it famous? Testament. I met my wife at the first show of their tour with D.R.I. supporting on Oct 30, 1992 at the Ventura Theater in (surprise) Ventura, CA. If you are up on your Testament / Legacy trivia, that's the show where the drummer bailed after soundcheck, and nobody noticed until just before it was time for them to go on stage. Various roadies and fans tried to cover for him, and generally failed. Doug "stories? I got a million of 'em" Goodman PS - I dug out some pics... |
