Mama's Boys KBFH San Antonio 1985 *soundboard*

[jcgm97]

Post #10 from me is a personal guilty pleasure of mine -- Ireland's own trio of brothers, Mama's Boys, recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour in San Antonio, Tx. in 1985 (exact date unknown) in support of their critically acclaimed album "Power & Passion." If you aren't familiar with this band, please -- you owe it to yourself to grab this show and give 'em a chance! From roughly 1982-1985, they were young, hungry, and more than competant to kick some major ass! This show was also transferred myself a few years ago from a very crackley/poppy record I found on ebay; I isolated 10 seconds of music at a time, zoomed in and worked on each individual flaw -- let me tell you, it sucked! lol. After a few hours, I got it to sound like this. Not perfect, but definately listenable. and Incidentally, the singer/bassist John MacManus is now playing bass for Fastway this summer in Europe (too bad he isn't singing as well).

Actually, while digging up the San Antone show last night I realized my Glasgow '83 radio show needs replacing! I AM SO PISSED!! There is a deep scratch on the bottom of the disc that took off the coating! I got it in a trade with somebody overseas quite some time ago and I fear that it is lost forever

I saw Mama's Boys open for RATT, I think in '85, in Amarillo, Texas along with Fastway

Superb - I knew this existed but don't have it - Seen Pat McManus a few times in the last couple of years. His solo set is mostly covers, but he always plays 1 or 2 Mamas Boys songs
