Montrose
L'Olympia Bruno Coquatrix
Paris, France
February 1st 1975
Montrose toured Europe in 1975 as part of a Warner Brothers package
which included Tower of Power, Little Feat and The Doobie Brothers.
Quite a line-up for what I guess was just a few Francs.
I believe Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter twated Ronnie Montrose in the Green Room.
(Titus is a liar...Ed.)
There was an interview I recall with Sammy Hagar in the late 70s.
He had teenage kids and was asked what they thought of having a 'Rock Star' Dad.
"They think I'm shit, they're into KISS" was approximately his reply.
One sees this recording/parts of it circulated in various forms.
It's always a bit murky.
I took my best version and remastered it (Yawn...Ed.)
Hey, I did my best. Now it's slightly less murky.
Bassist Alan Fitzgerald dominates the sound.
However, trying to quell him any more than I did screwed up the overall balance.
Kinda nice to hear the buzz from (I suspect) Ronnie's amp.
So not the greatest quality on this recording
but it's OK after a whisKy or two if you play it loud.
