Ok so I should buy a welder. Perfect. I’ve been looking for a reason to learn
Will be my first go with Kroil…haven’t used it yet
Like, Live at the Fillmore, or live at the Fillmore? Were you there?
Yes… I was at the Fillmore East quite a few times between 1969 and 1971. Concerts held there were usually inexpensive and not available any where else Since NYC was about an hour away…maybe even less. If they were recording that Allman Brothers show at that time, I never knew it other than eventually buying the album 3-4 years later?

I did see Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane, Jethro Tull, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Leslie West, John Mayall and a few I don’t recall right now but the are a lot. The first night of Woodstock, Friday August 15, 1969, we had $4.50 tickets to see Led Zeppelin at the Asbury Park Convention hall. It was with a few guys I was in a band with at the time. A few said they wanted to dump the tickets and head up north to the Woodstock event. My thinking was $4.50 does not come easy to us… let’s just stay and see this show …the New York Thruway was closed and they were reporting 300,000 people were already there. So we stayed and saw Zeppelin. My fellow guitar player friend Billy had a 1949 Cadillac. That’s what we’re would have driven to NY state with.
A guy named John Scher opened the Capital Theater in Passaic, NJ sometime after the Fillmore closed and had great shows there. We had seen Old and In The Way there, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Hot Tuna, Poco, Commander Cody . I was friendly with a guy who was his insurance man so we could get great tickets for almost any show. Only had to pay face value….usually the first 5 rows
My friends and I were concert goers…one night it was The Allman Brothers at the old Nassau Coliseum. Early 1970’s as well and that town had deputized people in town and they would pull cars over if you looked “hippie like” and look for signs of weed being brought to the show. We were a bit late as a result of the traffic slowdown and walked in with the ACLU looking for anyone stopped to initiate a class action lawsuit against the town… Allman Brothers were just starting In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and those two drummers were on opposite sides of the stage…we just ran in and enjoyed the concert..always incredible stuff. My wife got me a t-shirt “old enough to see all of the great bands”
Got the tinnitus to prove it
EDIT: This brought back a few things.. I saw Cream at a high school auditorium about 1967 for $3.00 I was probably 14. Saw Ten Years After in 1968 in Miami …also $3.00 at a place called “ Thee Image”. It was a converted bowling alley with day-glo all over the place…maybe 150 people and the big winner…The Doors at Dinner Key Auditorium in 1969…the infamous concert where Jim Morrison cursed at the crowed and the cops raided the show in the middle of Touch Me. Something I’ll never forget. That action spawned the decency in music rally with Jackie Gleason and Anita Bryant at the Orange Bowl. I was there too
I remember getting my brand new OEM bumper from the dealer and the reactions it received when I pulled it out to inspect it.stopped at Toyota and picked up my NEW front bumper today! Can't wait to get this on. I know it a little thing but I think it's going to really make the truck look good.
I'm on the road for work this week and headed to FL. I'm going to try and stop by @cruisermatt if time permits.
I'll share pics when I get the new bumper on this easter weekend
I still have a list of things that aren't working but driving the truck has been more fun than working on it, so here is what I have left:
- front pumpkin diff drain plug is rounded off, I bought reverse drill bits and remover
- speedo isn't working, when I hook it up to a drill the needle in cluster moves but I can't seem to get it turning from drivetrain. New gear installed, maybe its the wrong gear, I don't know, needs more attention
- oil pressure gauge not working, this should be higher on my list. Having a working temp gauge and oil pressure gauge feel like the two things that could help me avoid engine damage.
- replace steering damper and (I think) remove the aftermarket second steering damper that was installed.
- transfer case still has a small drip
That's the list for now. Feels like the last 10% is taking 90% effort. All these small things that don't really seem to feel important because I'm driving it
I opened the box as well to inspect it and the parts guy said "what is this, it's really heavy?" and I said "its a bumper" and he gave me a funny look and said "bumpers don't fit in boxes that small and they are not that heavy" lol
“Is that bumper for the 2wd or 4wd?”
So the old guys at my dealer have no excuses is that what I’m hearing? lol
