GRAND OPENING SAB CONCERTS TRIBUTE ROOM

[Polity]

Hi Everyone -

On Friday, January 27th, they're having a reception for the grand
opening of the SAB Concerts Tribute Room. The 2nd floor of the SAC
cafeteria, overlooking the main floor and glass exterior, is now
filled with reproductions of posters from some of SAB Concerts
greatest days. And on one wall is painted the url to the list of all
the goodies Concerts put on in the past (though I think reading it
would just make current students jealous!)

You're all invited, and though traveling out here on a Friday won't
happen for most of you, stop in whenever you're on campus.

When: Friday January 27, 2012
Where: Student Activities Center Room 221
Time: 2:00PM

And the Alumni Association is having a big reunion for those from the
first 20 years that is open to everyone and we're extending it from
1981 to 1988 for everyone on this list so spread the word and
register.

Hey Mike -  Well actually they did. I got the email on Monday but it was the start of classes with the usual Polity (now USG) insanity going on to deal with - students had stayed at my house over intersession working on a new issue of the AAJ and got back to school to find out their budget had been cut because they hadn't held an event in the fall semester. Like Media clubs should have to hold events! Some things never change... And the LOST DECADE is because there were no concerts. Lots of finger pointing as to why but the bottom line was the University gave them such a hard time about using the gym it made concerts impossible. It was finally an alumnus who is also a professor who got them to change their minds a few years ago, and now this reinvented SAB Concerts is trying again and has had one sold out gym concert so far. It helps that the new Stony Brook President has college aged kids and thinks concerts are a good idea! Take care, Mama --- On Thu, 1/26/12, Mike D'Andrea <mike....@gmail.com> wrote:

This is great, brings back some wonderful memories (and some I had forgotten like having seen the Pretenders back in the day), but there are some minor mistakes, typos and omissions.  For example Jimmy Cliff performed with Oneness, and Third World was the opening act.  Jack Cassidy with SVT performed I believe the same year that Jorma performed solo in the Union Auditorium in either ’81 or 82.  There was a contest to guess what SVT stood for (the manufacturer of Jack’s bass amp) in the days long before Google.  David Bromberg played FallFest one of those years.  And who could forget G. Gordon Liddy in Lecture Hall 100!  Yoshiaki Masua is Yoshiaki Masuo.  David Sanciou is David Sancious.  And the Good Rats played the Fine Arts Center Plaza for Springfest, long before the grass lawn on the steps, probably around 1979 or 1980, right before I joined Scoop AV (I can still picture Koz  running around like a maniac trying to get the rented Sunburst lighting hanging from the FA Center working).  Anyhow, my brain hurts from trying to remember all of the shows I got to work (and see) with AV, I will have to dig up my collection of All Access and Backstage passes from those days.  I think they are in the double jacket of an unplayable warped double LP album…

 

I’ll have to try to stop by and see the Concerts Tribute Room.  I may even have a couple of old posters packed away somewhere.

 

I wish the current Stony Brook students trying to get concerts going again much luck, the shows were a great and reasonably priced diversion and activity.

 

Best regards,

Lee

Well I guess the Administration got their "revenge".
