disco demolition night


30 years ago yesterday was the famous disco demolition night between games of a doubleheader between the chicago white sox and the detroit tigers. I remember it like it was yesterday. Some credit it as the beginning of the end of disco. Any one else remember .

some great memories- ah yes, those were the days...
Steve Dahl & Gary Meyer on 97.9 The Loop
They did a show at Parkwest & had a singing skeleton behind the mike onstage (surrounded by Lavelamps) singing Karen Carpenter tunes (she was so anorexic it took her life) tragically - or not? Many have the same sentiments for K.C. as they had for disco, which BTW still sucks!

They were so funny I used to cry my way to work every morning. You literally couldn't stop laughing; drivers would stare at me cracking up while sitting at the stoplights busting a nut; surprised I wasn't committed. The others around you in traffic who also had them on were all in the same state of uncontrollable hilarity.
We also loved his musical parodies of pop tunes; I still have a whole (cassette!) of them. I'll have to break it out again & see if the ole' player still works.
I was into Disco back then and the biggest thing I remember was that alot of the guys not into disco walked alone. The guys into Disco had woman on each arm, all the way home.
Funny thing is most of the dance music out today sounds a lot like DISCO, lots of lip sincing and lets not forget Milli Vanilli. You think Disco had issues nough said about that.
I mainly listen to Rock, Jazz & Blues now but from time to time I pull out the old stuff and remember when.
Jdodmead,
Thanks, if in Boston email me and we will meet and listen.
Nice system you have also.
I find early Disco holds up well on my system but later disco does not. The later most were either over dubbed or tenth generation copies of the instraments and or both, then the instraments from these tapes were remixed yet again into the songs and they sound like shit. With early Disco music there were original scores and it really was not Disco, just dance music.
