I don't know if they were taping or what but I could see everybody's faces. Everything was really well lit and I just remember everybody all packed in together, not really moving around or anything just sort of stuck solid because it was so packed. The first time we played down there, the whole band set up before I came in, and neither Bo nor the band knew what exactly to expect out of each other, so before the performance I went up to Bo and said 'is it ok if I sit in?
I played the whole night. I took all kinds of solos here and solos there. He was cueing me for solos It was really fun. The whole night was just so fun. He didn't know who this guy was with a saxophone coming up! He wasn't going to play with me! Yet I was the same guy who played with him all night eight months before. I can't remember if we were directly involved in getting him booked or not, but I do remember being aware that if he was in fact booked into JB's that he would need a backup band.
If you booked them to play your club you had to supply them with an amp and a backup band. I remember the first time seeing him in the basement at JB's Down , and I remember he had this cowboy hat and was wearing this red polyester jump suit. We were all excited to play with him and once we all met up down there he said 'Well come on stage, we're gonna have a rehearsal. We'll be fine. Plus we also did lots of blues, so if he wanted to play straight blues we could do that too.
The band was pretty well versed in those rhythms and stuff so it wasn't like we had to have special rehearsals for this show because we were already doing it. We talked about that he made lamps. I remember him saying 'Yeah, I make lamps and mosaics and stuff. The thing that struck me is that I've also met Chuck Berry and Chuck was like the opposite side of the coin.
Chuck was very bitter and both Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley were sort of screwed over by the business. Both of them had their signature rhythms stolen out from under them and other artists made millions of dollars off of their signature sounds. Bo Diddley though just shrugged his shoulders at this and said 'That's the way it goes, you know?
It was like shoulder to shoulder and people were really looking forward to him. Plus it was sort of the height of our popularity too. So we opened for him and played a set of our stuff and people were really into it and then when he came on everything went up a level.
I just remember that it was really high energy in the room and playing with him was great. I was always more of a basher rhythm player than a soloist. I can play solos but I was a good rhythm player, and I sort of had the feeling he wasn't used to that — being onstage with someone who could play rhythm strong.
I think he was having a good time too. It was really a nice night. I remember it fondly. It sort of reminds me that I wasn't always a cube geek, you know? Sometimes people come into my cube and they look at that picture and they say 'Who is that? I can't remember who that might have been. In that period they were trying to bring in some out-of-town people based on the history of The Kove, which had burned down by then. We also used to do "Who Do You Love" and Numbers Band drummer David loved that beat, and he studied that beat and he had that beat down and he was all excited about Bo Diddley.
I said 'Yeah I do one of your songs, it's one of my favorite songs,' and he said 'Oh yeah, which one is that? And then I reminded him that Little Walter played on that song and he said 'Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Really, you like that song? And the original version is incredible. That show took place eight months later on Saturday, May 9, Click here to see the advert for that second Spring JB's show and click here to read the Kent Stater review for that second show.
