A little something that will not appear on a reissue. This dates to the very first show of the Gil, Suzi and Shelley line up. It was May 6th, 1985 and it was at the house of this guy named Bill who threw parties occasionally with local bands (to Walnut Creek, CA) playing in his living room. Real Nighttime had given the band a goodly amount of notoriety in the Bay Area but Scott and I decided to break the line up in with a couple of low profile shows prior to a big show opening a sold out show for The Three OClock at The Hollywood Palace in mid-May. This set was followed by a set booked under the name Leppo And The Jooves 2 days later at The Sound Of Music club in SFs Tenderloin district, but for the Big Shot line up, it all started here. Sadly the band recordings from the show were of not of sufficient quality to hear much (boombox in a living room) but this one came out pretty good and Scotts solo version turned sing-a-long hopefully shows what a good time we all had that night and what a good audience the party provided. With Stephen Ginochio and likely a few others on the list providing audience vocals.
