Got carded buying smokes yesterday. The register girl looked all of 13. If she needed to know my birth yr, I sure as hell needed to know hers. 19 fucking97. Lolol no way did I feel old.
There was also a "My Father's Place" in downtown Manhattan near enough to Washington Square Park. Saw R. Hunter there early '80's. Place was not very large; we were maybe 8-10 feet away.
LI was definitely a great place to grow up/come of age (lol that sounds so corny), between the beach and it's super easy LIRR close proximity to the city, tons of music every where you turn, really super lucky to be a kid in the 70s. Drinking age 18 (which meant 15 with those super easy to erase non-picture NYS driver's licenses) and not to mention the abundance of GD shows within a 3 hr drive (or hitch hike relatively safely.). School was a total joke with our own smoking lounges and come and go as you please policies. Ah the good old days. :). Don't think it would be nearly as fun today.
Maybe it was a different band and maybe he didn't have a band. I wasn't there in May of 82, but I know the Hunter&Comfort association was over by then.
bromberg, tuna, levon and rick with cindy cashdollar, brandx , so many but heres a good one for the long island crew of the 70's...The midnite shows at the mini cinema in uniondale..a crazy free for all watching the best concert films, monty python, plus!!
Ahhh.....the Mini Cinema, Grateful Dead movie, over and over and over.....Jack in the Box right down the block...."I'll take 3 super tacos with extra lettuce, cheese and hot sauce"....they did it every time
One of my favorite gigs there was Link Wray with John Cipollina....a true clash of guitar titans. Blew me away. I also saw John Cipollina there sitting in with the Healy-Treece Band, which consisted of Dead soundman Dan Healy on guitar, Keith Godchaux on bass, a guy named Treece, Kathi McDonald on vocals. Keith was really buzzed so for the second set they put John's brother Mario Cipollina in on bass and Keith switched over to keys where he didn't do much. John, however was super high energy that night and they played crazy covers like Jumpin'Jack Flash, Runaway, and other rock standards. It was a wild night. The various Hunter gigs there were the stuff of legends. Also, I almost forgot the Gravenites-Ciopollina band played there too.
All good.... just didnt know if we were talking about the same place.....Bottom Line down the street on the corner, now that was a crazy place ....a whole 'nother story
I remember being at My Father's Place in Roslyn for that Robert Hunter show in 1982. Place was empty. Told a friend a while back we were at a Robert Hunter show in the early 80's at MFP and he didn't remember it and when I did a search for that show on line I couldn't find one so I thought maybe my memory had failed me. Any chance anyone has the songlist?
No the show does not circulate, but The Bitter End does (link below)
I hung with Robert before the MFP 1982 show and between sets. He had the first set list on his guitar and played a Dead set with Ripple & Easy Wind in his second set.
The 5/82 MFP show was the absolute first time he played "Touch Of Grey" for the first time, and he was not pleased at all.
I was there with 3 friends as witness and I told him it sounded great.

Hi Stu.
Hi Stu, Peg and Mr Trips
Forgot about the many Jorma solo shows he played at MFP.
The parties under the rail road trestle which was the parking lot were epic.
Across the street on Roslyn road was another club called US Blues.
Local acts like Volunteers and the Stanton Anderson Band would play there often.
Roslyn rocked back in the day.

It was solo. Only about 50
1982 Hunter was solo. Only about 50 folks there.
Hunter and Eppy (MFP owner) were eating and hanging at the bar way before the show.
There was no backstage, just a small room in front of the bathrooms, and Hunter was there with his Martin Guitar
I have the stub I should be able to post it soon. He played The Other End in the Village the next night.

Richie Havens played a free little show at My Fathers Place in October of 1982 on a Monday night.
The only caveat was you had to be psychedelic and wear your best sixties garb.
Richie was filming crowd scenes for a (unreleased) documentary of Jimi Hendrix.
Randy Hansen came out and did his Jimi Hendrix act/impersonation, while we went wild for the film cameras.
Then Richie Havens came out and played the most wonderful set for us.
