tough thing to pull off in those conditions.. Rest in peace Alex, thanks for the songs and all of the memories your songs gave me. thanks for posting this
Sure, time had hit Alex's voice a bit by then. But considering the arc of his career--and his view of his past--it's nothing short of a miracle he reunited with The Box Tops as well as Big Star. Enjoy these clips, y'all--I never got to see him in either band.
It was always odd, but ultimately entertaining, to see Alex as the front man of a band where he did not have a guitar strapped on as he sang. His Box Tops gigs provided a look into a side of him that you otherwise would not have seen; it was here Alex's sense of humor truly shone through.
Very, very true. As Chris Stamey and Jody Stephens remarked in the new Big Star doc, they never knew Alex to do anything he didn't really want to do--so that makes it even more enjoyable to have seen him reunite with The Box Tops and Big Star as well.
Maybe he just wanted to give that part to the guys he played with. He was supposed to have been a really nice person. Rare as it may have been, every front man did not have to have the maximum attention on himself all the time. @@conan1982
@@maryejohnson8458 I met him over 20 years ago. I found him to be extremely funny and he was always beyond nice to me. I miss him more than I ever thought I would. I still haven't recovered from his death.
@@maryejohnson8458 While Alex could be moody, he was, ultimately, a Southern gentleman. He seemed to enjoy himself most at these Box Tops gigs as he was able to show a side of himself that was rarely on display.
Unfortunately it was a rainy day and there was no interior lighting. I didn't want to get too close to the stage as it may have affected the audio. It was great just to be there and I even was able to meet up with Alex and chat with him after the gig.
