Detroit music was the absolute best ... The Frost was probably the best of music scene - Dick Wagner was tremendous. Being able to be part of it ... to go to the Grande, the Palladium, Cobo, Ford, and even to watch these bands play at my High School was great. What a great time. What great music.
The Epitome of DETROIT ROCK N ROLL! At the time. They were up there with Seger and Savage Grace. Yeah the bass is distorted, but that's LIVE Rock. They didn't have 32 track recorders back then, and this was "LIVE" live. Not overdubbed later in the studio like KISS. Feel the Energy. BLUE COLLAR ROCK!
Savage Grace very underrated. Al Jacquez Vocalist still plays in the Detroit Metro area. He sounds better than ever. Saw him a couple of weeks ago at the Trinity House in Livonia. He did a Show with Drew Abbott (from the Silver Bullet Band)
I was there when this was recorded... The Grande was the greatest Rock N Roll hall in Michigan.... It was Beautiful with a big main floor and columns around the main floor and walking area around that...
I saw the Frost many times back then, they were always my favorite local band, also was lucky to see Dick and company play when he would come back to Michigan in the years before he passed. I never caught their act at the Grande, but would see them every time they played at Silverbell and other area haunts, good times for sure.
They played at my high school in Windsor and the Stooges another night. All the Detroit bands played Windsor:))) Did you see the Amboy Dukes free WABX concert on the steps of the Detroit library by chance?
THE FROST - We Got To Get Out Of This Place (lyrics) In this dirty old part of the city Where the sun refused to shine People tell me there ain't no use in tryin' Now my girl, you're so young and pretty And one thing I know is true You'll be dead before your time is due Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin' Watched his hair been turnin' grey He's been workin' and slavin' his life away, Alright (work) He's been (work) He's been (work) work, work, work, work, We gotta get out of this place If it's the last thing we ever do We gotta get out of this place Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you.
I,James Patrick Lujack was there on this date watching from the orchestra pit trying not to trip LOL over the light show folks....really miss those daze....well maybe not really but it was fun to be alive back then...
I was at this show, amazing band. One of the best, if not the best, bands of the Grande era. Of all the bands that played the Grande the Frost was right at the top of the best, bar none.
I was there!!! OMGosh we must have seen The Frost a hundred times and opened for them many times! They were way ahead of their time. They were "The Beatles of Michigan". The combined vocal harmonies of Dick Wagner, Gordy Garris and Donny Hartman left me (and the audience) breathless! Bobby Riggs always the supreme drummer! Their presence, professionalism, musicianship and drive was top notch! This is why I am a singer, a songwriter and a musician to this day!
Damn...for an oldster you're hangin in their real good...A store called the Chess King in Flint had these guys on their opening day..I was crammed up against those speakers and I couldn't hear right for 2 days..All hail Frost..
Too bad they played it too damned fast. The bass should not have been over driven. It sounds like they were all on speed, they butchered a great song. It's very poor rendition of Blue Oyster Cult's version.
Dumb ass.... That's like saying Bob Dylan didn't play "Like a rolling stone " properly, because it is different from how the Rolling stones play it.. And I mean dumb ass in the nicest possible way
Having seen them close their show with this a couple times, have to disagree. And the lyrics for kids working in steel mills and auto factories rang true to us

One of the BEST drum solos ever

TRULY.

Still have the Frost Vinyl. Saw Wagner with Lou Reed at the Masonic plus with Alice Cooper at Cobo.
THE FROST - We Got To Get Out Of This Place (lyrics)
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away, Alright
(work) He's been
(work) He's been
(work)
work, work, work, work,
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you.
Glamourizing Manchester's happy working class.
All hail Frost!
I,James Patrick Lujack was there on this date watching from the orchestra pit trying not to trip LOL over the light show folks....really miss those daze....well maybe not really but it was fun to be alive back then...
Orchestra pit? There was no orchestra pit at the Grande. It was all floor seating all the way up to the stage.
yeaaahh!!!!sounds of detroit!!
One of them is playing tonight at Swartz Creek Performing Arts Center 5/27/15
Wish I'd been there! The hottest!

Laurie, I couldn't agree more, the Frost played from the heart and everyone knew it.
Donny Hartman is still gigging around in Michigan. So sad that Dick is gone :-(

Do any any you remember Hale or Injin Jo as some called him? Played base a lot.
Except the drum solo that I have so few easiness to hear, it's rather a killer.
boring
sonny grow up

This was nearly 10 years before BOC did this song.
just maybe, since the frost did it before boc...I think eric burdon did it first, ….maybe boc did a poor rendition of the frost?

@@cussewago you're damn right...
