The Stones were practicing out at Longview Farm Recording Studios. That is why they picked Sir Morgan's Cove to play at. Later changed its name to Lucky's. Two good shows I saw there were The Fleshtones, also saw them at Ralph's, and Peligro with D.H. Peligro from the Dead Kennedys on bass. I lived in Woosta for 5 years on Common St near the liquor store just up the street from Lake Q. Moved to Virginia from there 8 1/2 years ago.

Also, remember Spags was in Shrewsbury, not Worcester.

Just my opinion, but this is not a derailed thread at all. Sports and music are two of the great unifiers. It does not matter what you like, good music is good music. Gabba Gabba Hey!!!

Yup, Spags was in Shrewsbury. I lived in Marlboro for almost twenty years. My favorite memories of Woosta center around the E M Loews Theater and the Centrum. Here are a few stubs from back when my ties were skinny. (and so was I)

Great thread! I'm really surprised to see how many hardcore/punk fans there are on the boards. It makes me want to head up to the attic to find my combat boots, and flight jacket! I really miss those days!
Studio One in Newark, and of course CBGB. Those places are unfortunately gone forever

I do remember Zayres! And the Wallex was my second home for most of my childhood. I would have been WHS 79 but moved in 77.

My brother and cousin were WHS 79. Wallex is torn down. The bowling alley site is now a CVS and Staples. The miniature golf and ice cream place is a Burger King. Zayres is now a Shaws supermarket. Parents still live in childhood home 47 years.

If you moved in '77 do you remember when Boston played outdoors at Leary Field? Summer of '76. Openers were the Road Apples and maybe Duke and the Drivers.

Yes, I remember that Boston concert at Leary. For some reason I could not make it. Always made the fireworks at Leary. I played Mickey Mantle baseball at Leary field as well as Trapelo field not to mention Nipper Maher park. Great memories of WHS Football. Remember Freddie Smerlas as a kid and played ball with his younger brother. I guess we could go on and on with this thread . Thanks for sharing your memories.
