Marianne, Donna Donna, Laurie Gayle,
Maxx, Sharon, Malibu Sue (1990)


John DaBella & Bob Waugh 1980

If you were a fan of the station check out this web site!
The World Famous WLIR (On Air)

I still remember when they went from playing the Outlaws to Joan Jett and the Black Heart, and U2.

Look for the listing of all the Screamers of the Week


I still have their bumper stickers on my guitars road case.

I remember the old LIR (1980-88) with great affection.

First they dared to be different, then they sold out and dared to suck. They succeeded on both counts.

Huntington in the 80's was great!

Heck, Long Island in the 80's was great!

I dont think anything beat Roslyn villiage on a hot dry summer night in the 70's. It was a strip of clubs My Fathers Place, US Blues, Heads&Tails, Raffles. The old farts down there ganged up on the town and police to put an end of it.

The last to go was Raffles, The cops keopt kitting them with every thing they had, even went up and down the street with sound level meters, gave cars tickets, followerd people home.
In a desperate attempt to get them they sent a selected 19 year old girl (who looked 25-26) in there on a Sunday night . The waitress working the bar didnt proof her and busted them.
The villiage is now a ghost town after 8PM even on July 4th !

Tidbit about WLIR it went to crap right after this Arab named Jarad baught the station and started forcing "payola'd" rotating programming lists on the DJ's.
Im pretty sure owns over 20+ stations all over New England

LIR was the best..Mad Maxx the Maximizer!!
Anyone remember The Angle on Mineola Blvd in Mineola?

[ClarkStreetKid]

My Father's Place was great. Saw the Police there on their first tour of the US before they really broke. Other great shows at MFP that I remember were Flo and Eddie, NRBQ, Uncle Floyd and I think The Call. I think most of those shows were all within a couple of weeks of each other.

Anyone used to hit the Mailbu Beach Club? Shows I took in there were The Ramones, The Plasmatics and a still mostly unknown U2. Also caught U2 in 84 at Stony Brook and again at the Shaeffer Music series at the pier.

The club scene on LI was fantastic.

We would head down to Malibu every couple of months. My friend was a guidette, so in the spirit of compromise I would get dragged to Channel 80, Uncle Sams and Zacharys in exchange for me dragging her everywhere else.

I saw the Ramones at Reds? on Hempstead Tpke, again at some club in Queens near Richmond Hill? and at some theater up around Glen Cove. I loved the Ramones.

Are you sure it was 84 when you saw U2 at Stony Brook? I know they played the gym there the week before they played Albany. I saw U2 in 5/83 while a student during Mayfest @ SUNY Albany. They were booked before they really got hot -- we got lucky! I was up against the stage, Bono thisclose! I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The ticket cost $5 bucks and included 3 bands -- U2, Robert Hazard, David Johansen -- as well as free beer and hotdogs.

The stage was outdoors, the weather was magnificent. It was odd that there were a fair number of students who really weren't aware of U2 despite the SUNYA radio station having covered a lot of up and coming college bands. (Let's not forget MTV playing the Gloria video, either.)

I saw the Joshua Tree tour and Zoo Tv tour; while Joshua Tree was a phenomenal album and a fantastic tour and Zoo Tv was so visual, neither could replace the excitement they generated for me on that warm May day so long ago.

Could have been 83, I do remember it was in support of the WAR album and that was a powerful tour. For the Stony Brook show we bought extra tickets for some friends the night of the show, so we were ticked when we tried to get tickets for the Joshua tree tour and it sold out!

I'm still a big David Johansen fan and loved some of the stuff Syl did too. Of course I wouldn't be a fan if I didn't have on my IPod Johnny Thunders doing Pipeline. Out of tune and out of time of course. Wish I got to see the Deadboys live but that's one I missed.
