John Butcher Axis played clubs around Nashvegas for a while in the 80's. Never saw them, but I remember them being promoted on WKDF.

The girls were lounging around in skimpy sleepwear, and at one point as we were walking down the hall Bob turned to me and said "Holy Schlitz, this is like Letters to Penhouse!" I had to agree. Got a bunch of invitations to come back and visit. Never did.
We had seats in the upper arena and it was like sitting in a fog bank. Some guys behind us had a propane powered bong. The Jon Butcher Axis opened. He was okay. Rush was awesome. One of the great nights of my teenage years.


....and you never went back to the dorm where you had a standing invitation WHY????

I've not heard of John Butcher Axis. I;ll look it up. Mr. Big opened for Rush at the 1992 concert. I don't remember who opened for them in 1978--possibly a local central Michigan band. I remember they were't very good.

I seem to recall Jon Butcher was a Hendrix wannabe. He toured around Philly back in the day as well. The rock stations played him which is where I remember the name.

Sounds like the same choice I would have made then. Beer and a concert vs. dorm full of coeds. No game with the ladies.

Nothing like that. Dayton was an hour north, which to my 19 year old sensibilities seemed to be a long way to go for a booty call. I was driving a V8 Duster that got 12 mpg downhill with a tailwind and had a distressing habit of marooning me at inopportune times. Fun car, but reliability was not Job 1 back in those days.

Life Takes A Life is the song that I remember being played around here. Kinda generic sounding by my 1982 ears.

I bet it could pass anything--except a gas pump. Was it the "Gold Duster" package with the gold, reptile print vinyl roof?

Yep, 3-speed floor shift. Air shocks. Plymouth billboard across the back window. Flintstone floor option.
