 Tom Staley: Those of you
familiar with NRBQ will no doubt recognize Tom as the original drummer for the band from
1968 to 1974. Tom appeared on the groups first 4 LP's and toured with the band in the
early years when touring was done by squeezing into Terry's Ford Fairlane station wagon ,
while the equipment and roadies followed in a panel truck. Tom was there for some of the
groups first legendary performances such as the Fillmore East , when during our set we
asked that the light show be turned off , and when it wasn't, we stopped playing, turned
around and watched it with the audience ! Yeah , things were loose back then, but it was
the late 60's and the Vietnam war was raging and there was turbulence everywhere you
looked. Tom was there when NRBQ played at the May day demonstration against the war in
Washington DC., where a couple hundred thousand people had gathered to protest . The
legendary jazz bassist Charlie Mingus had just come off the stage as NRBQ arrived ( much
to their dismay) and then found out the Beach Boys had just appeared before Mingus! It was
quite a heady time. |
