Bands from 10cc to the Babys to the New York Dolls,to Starz & Rex, to Angel to Gary Glitter to Alex Harvey to the birth of punk, and then New Wave and all of the big names (Zeppelin, Floyd, Alice Cooper, etc) from that era. Piper was right smack dab in the middle of the mix. My whole group of friends loved them. We saw them at least three or four times, always as an opening band, unfortunately. Saw them with Angel a couple times and with The Babys and with City Boy. They were ALWAYS fuckin' great! Very energetic and entertaining. Billy was quite the wild man up front.<br />Good times, good friends, good memories!Vulturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148075395640163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958934352947813808.post-55703900402922325682015-11-09T21:41:44.074-08:002015-11-09T21:41:44.074-08:00Any chance of sending me a copy??

Piper and Billy Squire's solos albums go to the top of hits in my small pub dancing rock club.

He's playing the first show of his tour here tomorrow night. I could see him through the crack in the door and heard them play "The Stroke" and "Calley Oh" and it sounded SUPERB! His voice sounds amazing like 1980 or so, still hitting the high notes, and the band sounded awesome!

In fact, it says "Promotional Copy Only- Not for resale" on the label in the center of the vinyl record. I still own this album. I loved it then and I love it now. "42nd Street" friggin' rocks and has an amazing guitar solo! "Sail Away" is an awesome power ballad that was recorded long before power ballads became popular.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480044153816351209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958934352947813808.post-41425901121828394862009-06-14T21:35:21.437-07:002009-06-14T21:35:21.437-07:00Nice Job!

Also, that pic from the Boston Garden show with ELO, I WAS THERE! Any more pics? I saw Piper twice, that show with ELO, and a show with the Baby's at the Orpheum in Boston which was AWESOME! FYI on the guy that asked about live shows of Piper... I know there was a show recorded for King Biscuit Flower hour from a hall in Philadelphia. I taped it off the radio back in the day, but I don't have it anymore. Hoping it will show up on "Wolfgang's vault" online (a site where you can hear tons of live shows for free, and most come from King Biscuit, but I haven't found the Piper one YETTTTT). Going to see Billy Squire next week, and he's supposed to pull out a song or 2 from the Piper days! I HOPE!!!! Wish he'd reform Piper and tour!!! :-)wretchedvonkranknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958934352947813808.post-64832340571611239202009-02-01T10:53:00.000-08:002009-02-01T10:53:00.000-08:00Great!!!

I am a huge Billy Squier fan. I saw him on the Creatures Tour back in 91 in Boston and to this day it remains one of my fondest Rock Experieces. 2&1/2 hours of balls to the wall. I have been trying to get these now for a while. They are next to impossible to find on anything but vinyl which I do not have the means for anymore. These are a real treat for all true Rock Fans. The artwork and photos are great and the sound is pretty darn good too. Great work, thanks again!
