Eddie Money - 1978-06-29 - Lexington, KY (FM)

I saw Eddie Money once, in the summer of 1979, in Central Park.  That said, I only stayed for a few songs, which I now regret.  You see, the only reason I went to the show was to see the opening act, Ms. Rachel Sweet. Her debut disc, Fool Around  became a staple on the turntable (yes - it's that old!) in my college dorm room. Part new wave, part early 60's girl group in sound, the album featured songs such a B-A-B-Y, Wildwood Saloon, I Go to Pieces and Sad Song. 

In any event, this FM Broadcast captures Eddie on tour iin support of his debut album in Lexington on June 29, 1978, 4 dozen years ago today. Unlike me, the Rolling Stones had taken notice of Mr. Money, brining his on board to open for them that night.

I saw Eddie Money live just once, in July 1979 at the Wollman Rink in Central Park. I have to admit, I didn't really pay much attention to Eddie's set as the reason I was there was for the lead-in act, Ms. Rachel Sweet. Her album, Fool Around, became a staple on the turntable (yes - it's that old!) in my college dorm room. Part new wave, part early 60's girl group in sound, the album featured songs such a B-A-B-Y, Wildwood Saloon, I Go to Pieces and Sad Song.  It's still one of my favoriye discs.

In any event, this FM broadcast captures the overlooked by me Mr. Money in San Diego on December 31, 1992, 33 years ago today.

I'm wondering how many folks simply know the late Eddie Money as the guy in the Geico commercial who owns a travel agency. I give him a lot of credit for being able to poke some fun at himself in that commercial, singing lines to Two Tickets to paradise to a befuddled family! (They need 4 tickets and leave in 2 weeks, not tonight). In any event, Eddie rang up a pretty good career in the 1980s, inducing 4 platinum albums and 9 top 40 singles. His biggest hit was in Take me Home Tonight in 1986, which climbed all the way to #4 on the Billboard charts, That tune featured a duet with Ronnie Spector, who sngs the chorus from her hit, Be My Baby. This soundboard recording captues Eddie about 2 decades after his hey day and 8 years before his Geico commercial, in Detroit on May 28, 2004, 19 years ago today.

With each post, you’ll learn a little bit more about the connection between the 3. We’ll start with this show from Eddie Money, our inaugural post from the former Edward Mahoney from Brooklyn NY. Just days before he hit the stage at the Cow Palace for this show, he released his self-titled debut album, which went to #37 on the Billboard charts. The album contained what would become 2 of Eddie’s best known songs, Baby Hold On and Two Tickets To Paradise, which reached #11 and #22 respectively on the charts. (A side note - props to Eddie for his willingness to poke fun at himself in the Geico commercial where he owns a travel agency and makes travel arrangements by singing Two Tickets To Paradise.) One other song from the album also charted in the top 100, a cover of Smokey Robinson’s You Really Got A Hold On Me, which turns up as the 3rd song in Eddie’s Set on New Year’s Eve 1977.
