BAND
DEMO
*
Six-minute demo
taken from assorted live gigs.
10th
ANNIVERSARY GIG, NOVEMBER 10, 2001
* "Do-Re-Mi,"
our first children's song done in concert.
*
"Do-Re-Mi":
youngster Nina Houts steals the show away from the band with her
spontaneous verse.
*
"San
Francisco": our first show tune, sepia-toned.
"Betty
Lou": another "first" as the band swaps instruments and
Paula plays guitar! (Note: Ronnie Johnson on vocals does some
enticing whimpering on this great Bob Seger song.)
*
"Lady
Is a Tramp": Sinatra' s version, dedicated to Paula's mother Beverly
Bocciardi.
"Hungry
Like the Wolf": on this foray into 80s pop, the band tries to
maintain its composure while Dina moans just like the record!
"Kansas
City": Janine Bocciardi and Terry Alvey trade "Hey"s.
"Johnny
B. Goode": part of the grand finale, with past members, guests, and
all kinds of riffraff joining us onstage.
*
"I
Saw Her Standing There," the grand finale's encore, with the same
riffraff.
EARLY 2001 CLIPS
* "This
Old Man," 5/01. The band cuts loose with a kids' song
during rehearsal.
* "Free
Bird" mimicked by a 2-year-old, 5/01. Ian goes nuts.
* "Long
Train Running," 4/01. Didn't know we had it in us.
* "These
Boots Are Made for Walkin'," 4/01. Diana and Terry dressed up
as either go-go dancers or cavewomen, it's hard to tell which.
* "We're
an American Band," 4/01. Okay, now they're dressed up like Wavy
Gravy in the 70's.
* "Under
My Thumb," 4/01. After 10 years of begging in PC-town, Julie
Riffle gets her wish and we finally play this song. Watch Dina and Ronnie
hop up and down.
"Kansas
City," 4/01. Terry Alvey returns for a solo vocal.
* "Rock
Lobster," 4/01. Ronnie throws caution to the wind.
* "I Put a Spell on You,"
2/01. Diana at her absolute best. Swoon-worthy R&B.
* "I
Wanna Be Your Dog."
* "Gilligan's Island
Theme,"
2/01. Dina's scream at the end is unparalleled.
* "Get Ready,"
2/01.
"Love Stinks,"
2/01. Short clip of the crowd saying it all.
"Mustang Sally,"
2/01. Tracey Rolandeli surprises us by joining us onstage, and . . .
well . . . whew! see for yourself.
* "Purple Haze,"
2/01. Check out the band choreography on " 'Scuse me, while I
kiss the sky" at the end.
* "Spooky,"
2/01. In black and white! Dina and Diana trade riffs.
"I Touch Myself,"
2/01. Diana seduces an audience member big-time. Rated XXX.
* "Travelin
Band."
* "Travelin' Band"
Scream, 2/01. Once again, Dina screams.
* "You
Shook Me All Night Long."
*
Rehearsal at Paula's house,
2/01. I know you're all dying to see us practice.
AT&T PARK, JULY 8, 2004
"Star-Spangled Banner"
KIMO'S,
JUNE 13, 2003
"Suffragette
City." Julie Riffle does lead vocals and guitar!
"Chain of Fools."
Diana coaxes an audience member, Deanna, into singing onstage. And
Deanna does a great job!
"Mystery
Achievement." Guest bassist Jean duSablon looks really cool
against the stage backdrop.
"LITTLE
BLACK DRESS" GIG, APRIL 6, 2002
"Jessie's
Girl."
and now for the
"Middle of the Road" section, in which you get to see the band's
little black dresses:
"Middle
of the Road" #1. Diana in close-up.
"Middle
of the Road" #2. Dina (guitar solo) and Ronnie in close-up.
Diana tugs on Dina's dress, for some reason.
"Middle
of the Road" #3. Julie (harmonica solo) and Terry in close-up.
CLIPS FROM THE JULY 30,
2001 GIG
Disclaimers:
The July 30 clips were recorded on a camera that was dying a slow
death. The video quality is raw and pixillated. (We like using
"pixillated," even though we don't use it correctly.)
But we fooled around with the exposure and the color and did the best we
could. Actually, the clips look like old film stock from the Cavern
Club or something.
"Walk
Don't Run". The band's first instrumental.
"Traveling'
Band".
Plus Diana's funny comment about attorneys.
"Jeffersons
Theme".
The audience gets involved.
"Get
Ready".
Ah, R&B -- Diana's forte.
"Summertime
Blues".
Good old-fashioned rock and roll.
"My
Generation".
Paula Bocciardi goes nuts.
"You
Shook Me All Night Long".
Three Tour Tour alumnae join the dance.
"Son
of a Preacher Man".
The sexy black dress.
and now for the
"Free Bird" section:
"Free
Bird" intro. Those delicious opening
chords.
Dina's
slide guitar on "Free Bird".
Matches are lighted.
"Free
Bird" middle. The audience erupts.
"Free
Bird" solo. Julie's solo.
OLD CLIPS
OF DIANA
Diana in 1987. An incredible time-trip, when
Diana fronted a band in Maine and looked..well..very different.
Diana's seductive "neck move."
Short clip from the same 1987 gig.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
"Wipeout".
Julie Riffle on the sticks.
"Wipeout"
dancers. Our all-time favorite dancing moment.
"That's
What I Like About You". Julie's harmonica solo, plus more favorite
dancers.
"Hot
Patootie". Paula makes a slight "drummer face," despite her
repeated denials.
Dina's silly dancing. An old clip, from
when she was still a fan.
