Reply to comment by heliskinki in My dad performing circa 1977 by everlovingkindness

Man I wish...he had some unreal costumes. Satiny with huge shoulders and million inch platform shoes. Funky.

It was 1978 I think (maybe 1979) and it was at the Salt Palace in Utah. Looking for exact dates on the interweb but cannot find. Was indeed quite an entry into the world of arena shows. The word from backstage was that Lionel (whom I love) was a bit snooty and wouldn't talk to the opening act! The rest of the band were cool though.

Wow, what a time to see them, peak disco. Yeah Lionel always was a diva, that doesn’t ruin the memory at all though I am sure.
