It is a snowy week here in Milwaukee as we look at Sha Na Na in 1974!
For this show I have no information in my files other than the fact that it was 1974!! I don't remember this show at all! I photographed a lot of shows in my life so some way back are a little foggy.
So, can anybody out there tell me when and where exactly I photographed this show in 1974??
Bowzer and the boys look like they are having fun. Bowzer has his own group these days and Sha Na Na is still performing with a few original members.
Have a great week.
Thanks,

Today's blog is a quick look at the Bob Welch version of Fleetwood Mac.
Here we see the band at the Milwaukee Arena on October 20, 1971. This was the show where they shared the lineup with Rory Gallager and Frank Zappa. I believe that Fleetwood Mac was the headliner act.
The band at that time was being led by Bob Welch on guitar and main vocals. Christine Perfect, who later married the band's bass player, John McVie, was on keyboards. Mick Fleetwood of course is the drummer and Bob Weston is the other guitar player.
Bob Welch had a great voice and we miss him.
Enjoy some old photos and have a great week!

Happy New Year everyone and thank you for viewing my blog!
I am looking forward to bringing you photos of the past and some new stuff as the year progresses.
Today, we are looking at a few photographs from Supertramp Day in Milwaukee on March 22, 1979! Milwaukee mayor, Henry Maier, gave the boys in the band a nice certifacate as you can see here.
Milwaukee was a huge Supertramp town. Every time they came to town the shows were huge. I think they were a bigger hit in Milwaukee than they were in England.
Enjoy the photos and play some Supertramp as you look them!
Thanks,
