Whew!😮‍💨 I remember being a 70's teenager and a concert ticket to see J. Giles at Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan was only $8.50. Gosh! What a great generation I grew up in!!!

Saw Rex open for Rush at The Dome Arena in Rochester, N.Y. December 1977! They blew the roof off the joint!!

[@christophermurphy7113]

I saw Rex that same fall with Ted (the middle act on the bill was the great Leslie West). Excellent show!

I was at that show but don't recall who replaced Skynyrd

[@lieslbirch885]

They spelled "Skynyrd" wrong

[@cs292]

Man this pure Heavy Metal.

[@rexsmith8114]

Do you have more of that show?

[@ToTheBuRecords]

WOW!!! THE LEGEND!!! YES!!!!

[@mikeratti991]

Yes, my buddy Jeff who put this together with me has the cassette I gave him.

[@carljacobson7156]

I Still prefer STARZ
Sorry, Rex - your brother, Michael Lee was the MAN!!

[@steveludwig4200]

Starz was a better overall band but Rex was a star......

[@carljacobson7156]

@@steveludwig4200 Rex was better looking and more 'marketable' - and a lot of his success was on Broadway Musicals.
I think Michael Lee had one of the best voices in Hard Rock at that time - I wish that he had stayed in the game, I think he, and STARZ, would have had greater success, if they had stayed together for the L.A. Glam Rock Boom of the mid-1980s.
Interestingly, Michael Lee looks nothing like Rex - with that chipped tooth, looked like Steven Tyler's little brother.
