Brandywine Club... Early 80's

Here's another show from Pennsylvania - Sent to us by Our favorite poster - Bob from Reading

Here's some pictures from the early 80's the venue was "The Brandywine
Club" in Chadds Ford, PA (near the Delaware state line).
As I recall, we (me, my bro Tom, and friend Gary) caught wind of this show
just hours before showtime and before you could say "powerglide" we were in
the car and on our way. Arriving at a packed house, we were able to find a
table with a decent view of the stage and proceeded to down beer after
beer.

 

......I've been around a little bit, I've got me some stories I could tell
I've been around a while now, and I've known some lovely women rather well
I've been dazed and amazed, I've been a witness to a redbone cajun spell

Honky tonkin', I guess I done me some....

As the night went on the empty Heineken bottles filled our table and the
band was smoke'n. At some point Tom decided to take a couple of bottles and
clank them together cheering on the band and exalting David for a "Heineken
Slide", well I guess he got a little overly enthused and.....well sure
enough one of the bottles he was clanking shattered and glass flew
(fortunately no-one got hurt!), we made our apologies to those around us,
and all was cool.

.....well, Amos he was marking time When the door blew off his car
They found Amos White in fifteen pieces Fifteen miles apart.....


It was of course a great show, with Marmaduke front and center, taking the
lead to everyone's delight! Oh yeah, Nelson treated us all to a Heineken
Slide in the second set. Just more memories of another great show from the
NRPS!

....Now if I had been working like I should have
By tonight I could've saved the fare
But Lord I've gone, yes, and drunk up every penny
And it's a thousand miles from here to there.....

Unfortunately this is the last of my NRPS archive photos,
hopefully I'll have some new stuff to share in the future.


We all hope you have some more, SOON!  Your stuff is always so good, we look forward to your posts.  You make the job of  Webmaster  very easy indeed!!!  One question...being the 80's I am quessing the band was Marmaduke, Nelson, Cage, Kemp and Shanahan.  In the first, third and fourth pic, there appears to be a sixth man.  Any ideas, or am I mistaken?  I am fairly unaware of this period, because I was living just outside of New Orleans at the time.  The only place NRPS played less than San Diego was New Orleans.  I have never seen evidence of them ever  playing anywhere near N.O.
