I still have a few hours of Radio Birdman and The Saints tapes from early 1977, recorded off the soundboard. Priceless.....

Thank you Gioia. Was there for the mayhem. I've joked that I was the "supervising adult" for the under-aged member of the band.

[@Gioia67]

I love that! Chris was a baby then lol

[@frostbyte9175]

I remember Angry Anderson being in the Funhouse and watching Radio Birdman, but I am not sure that Rose Tattoo ever played there at that time

[@Gioia67]
