Interesting how lots of people chime in with Peter Wolf memories....
That Cobo Arena show sounds great <g>.
I've always heard stories about what a marvelous and
influential DJ Wolf was in his early Boston period, but I was in
NY and Philly then and never caught any of this. My own teenage
memories of being blown away by the band in that early seventies
period begin when I saw them once just before the first album came
out, then as often as humanly possible for the next couple of years!
Wolf was really the shit in that particular moment. I recall a show
when he was all in black with silver boots, just kind of a silver
flash zipping back and forth across the stage and whipping the
audience into a frenzy. Whew!! The music was truly amazing and they
were both overwhelming and funny without being a parody....
