Tony and Dave--what a terrific combination. That was Camelot, all right.
One track had been released on an odds and ends album some thirty+ years ago, SUMMIT SESSIONS, but they finally released the whole concert last year.
Ah, the Left Banke. I always thought their version of "Walk Away Renee" was a cover of the Four Tops version; I see it was the other way around. And I loved their follow-up, "Pretty Ballerina," so I assume Renee was a ballerina.
Slightly related: I had a Speech teacher in junior high (circa 1970/71) named Susan Henderson who told the class she was the inspiration for the Buckingham's song "Susan" ("Susan/Looks like I'm losin'/Losin' my mind/Wasting my time"). Well, 44 years ago, that seemed really cool!
Apparently your assumption is correct, Deb...and there are worse things to be able to brag of, but also probably better ones ("That song commemorated our broken romance and bitter recrimination!").
My alter ego did a girl band post over at Lady Smut, too
Thanks! Will be gathered up for August!
