On That Note: I Can Hear Music

[Cupped]

Styx, The Grand Illusion

Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.

I had a gig in the American Legion hall
It was a dance for the Volunteer Ambulance Corps

Mr. Jones

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with a black-haired flamenco dancer

Paradise Theatre, Chicago venue. It was a movie house, not a music venue, but was inspiration for DeYoung’s fictional concept, framework for the 1980 Styx album.

 

[MeadForMyHorses]

There's a little old college bar right off of old 129
Said they'd pay me just a little bit of money
To sing my songs tonight

Going to use the term Honky-Tonk as by definition "a usually tawdry nightclub or dance hall
especially : one that features country music"

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - "Goin to aGoGo

 

[Cupped]

The Rolling Stones,

It's Only Rock and Roll

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?



If You Can't Rock Me

The band's on stage and it's one of those nights, oh yeah



Before They Make Me Run

Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone

—> Probably qualifies, bar-hop story to hear music at multiple clubs.

“They scurry to that sultry, smoky sound.”
"What's the cover? Where should we park?"

Joe Tex - "Ain't Gonna Bump No More

"Three nights a ago, I was at a disco"
"And this big fat woman bumped me on the floor"

 

[BoxsterCy]

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number

Easy one since this song has been stuck in my head for two weeks.

 

[baller21]

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now
