Saw the Heartbreakers many times in 78-80. Best nights of my life. As a 15 year old who snuck out. I still measure my life by those days of the best music ever.

I'm writing the same thing to a friend who is 63 now and who doesn't even know who these people are who made the best music ever. I was born too late, in 1974, and I have only listened to these dramatic and romantic emotions for 25-30 years, when Johnny was already gone. 🥺😢

You are right! From another who was there. Long may he wave, in videos like this.

Came to see a train wreck.... Saw a master at work. If those kids sitting there only knew.. A Master at work.

Never saw him so coherent. The guitar playing on Personality Crisis rivals his best days in the Dolls. He was sloppy, but he had a very distinct guitar sound. You can always tell when you're hearing Thunders!

Agree. A singular talent. Close on Keith’s heels.

That's why we loved him so much!!! With Barry Jones on guitar!!! Makes it even better!!!

Johnny is really tight in this. A treasure for the viewer. Thanks for Shanre!

Ah memories. Arthur sent a guy to get us. He saw us in the balcony. Nice man. Had enough class to walk with us since we wouldn't all fit in the limo. He wanted to drink, but, I was only 16 or 17.

Holy Moses! What a magnificent gig!

Tight band. Pretty prime JT and you can really appreciate the drumming.

Just a great, great rock n roll show. Johnny an amazing musician and showman.

I've never seen or heard Thunders so on it like this, Righteous Stuff!!!!

What a show! - Correction: what a fucking SHOW!

Got this show on DVD. Johnny is so on point here. Love it

@@leahflower9924 that sure sounds great. I would certainly buy a ticket. The thing is your average music fan of today have no idea who he was. Another unfortunate reality is almost everyone close to Johnny is gone. His sister could have had a huge part putting something like that together.

Saw him in 81 or 82. Best 45 minutes of pure rock and roll of my life. 2am closing time Johnny demanded drinks. Bartender said no. End of set. I expected this show to be a trainwreck this late in their lives, but it's amazing, BTW, 14 is Sonny Boy Williamsom II / Rice Miller's "Help Me", not "Green Onions", which came out a good few years later.
