NRPS 3/15/81 The Silo Reading PA

Hey everybody! Here is some more great stuff from our buddy Bob from Reading, PA. These are some pretty rare pics, it's the only time I've seen a pic of Allen Kemp on stage with the Riders. Enjoy!

Here are the rest of the pics from "The Silo", you are correct; Patrick Shanahan was in fact the drummer. However, I mistakenly told you Steven Love was with the band for this show, he was not. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong again) the guitar player along w/ Marmaduke and David was actually Allen Kemp, sorry for the slip on that one.

Hey, that "Man of Steel" thing just might stick!

The picture of me (at 21 years old) on the left and my bro Tom was taken at the show. We lost Tom, January 15, 1995 -RIP My Brother, you are loved and missed always!- Tom actually spent a year or more in the SD area back in the 80z while serving in the Navy, who knows maybe your paths have crossed?

It's certainly possible, he actually looks familiar...Love the Baseball sleeve NRPS jersey. How many of us had those back in the day?

The ad for the show is the cover of a weekly rag "Inside Reading" that covers nightlife and the bar scene in the Reading Berks County area. It's still published today under the name "Loose Ends".

PS Our friend Gary is doing great in recovery from his
liver transplant. In fact he was down to a Phillies-Padres game (at least your Padres didn't sweep our Phils).

PPS There may be another show in my near future, I see they have added Penns Peak to the tour and I hope to make my way up to the "Coal Regions" of Pennsylvania for that one.

Great, Bob!! Can't wait to see the pics and get your review. And thanks for the great stuff! It's always appreciated!
