I'll tell you I love my Four Tops albums, my original vinyls, which were all presents actually. I used to get a lot of albums and tapes for Christmas and birthdays. Being from the greater Detroit area you either loved Motown or you didn't, I did! I took my parents to there first ever concert, when I was in my 30's. It was a Four Tops and Temptations show. We had like 5th or 6th row something like that. This guy sitting 2 rows up gets up and starts boogieing with the music. An usher promptly came over and made him sit down. A coupe songs later same man gets up and starts to boogie. Same usher comes over and makes him sit down. My Dad stood up and I thought what the hell? My Dad walks over to the man and the usher and says "Do You know how expensive these damn seats were!? If that man wants to dance you better fuckin' let him!" Dad walked back to his seat, the crowd gave my Dad a round of applause and all Four of the Tops thanked my Dad and told everyone to "...boogie and free the booty!" My Mom & Dad still talk about the show!

    1. You are very welcome for the show. Thank you very much for your words. My Dad is a very special man. When I told my parents I wanted to be a musician my Dad drove me to my first professional audition. When I took him to visit the studio we built to rehearse in he was impressed. We then gave him a copy of our debut LP and the money to pay of a loan he had cosigned to record the record. Yeah, my Dad is great.

  4. Heck of a great story there! I never attended anything with my parents; I last saw a movie with them when I was ten (1966).

    I made sure to take my kids to shows with me...Radio Birdman, Buzzcocks, Metallica, the Who, Springsteen, Dick Dale, Richard Thompson, Hot Tuna, Junior Brown...

    1. That was the only concert I went to with my Mom & Dad unless you count the time the cam to see my band Psychosis play a gig. We were a very heavy thrash band they spent the whole show in the security booth of the theater. I have went to a few shows with my kids. I asked them who they wanted to see. My daughter wanted to see Boys To Men, with Mary J Blige and Baby Face. So I bought the tickets and sent her mother with her. My sons wanted to see Kiss. So we went together. Sons are complete metal heads like me. We have seen a lot of metal shows togetherincluding Black Sabbath (with Dio singing), Slayer, and a lot of festivals.

    1. Derek glad to hear you're enjoying the Four Tops show. I have seen them a few times, always with the Temptations, and they have been fabulous. My Mom and Dad now go to country music concerts at the town fair were they live.
