THE FEVER
WMMS own John Gorman, program director of the Cleveland, OH radio station shares his memories in his blog “THE BUZZARD – Inside the Glory Days of WMMS and Cleveland Rock audio”.
The finest story in his great blog maybe is the one about a certain night in August 1978, when the Jukes hit the stage at the AGORA, and a guy who was just playing in the neighborhood showed up to join the party.
John Gorman tells the whole story at: THE BUZZARD
At the conclusion of the show, the surprise guests appeared – Bruce, Miami Steve, Clarence, and other E Streeters – and jammed with the Jukes for three songs: “The Fever,” “ I Don’t Wanna Go Home,” and “Havin’ A Party.”
Regrettably, Miami Steve would not allow that segment of the concert to be broadcast on TV and it had to be cut for the Onstage at the Agora show. He felt it would take attention away from Southside’s performance.
Over the last few years, the Southside-Springsteen video from that show found their way into cyberspace. Just in case you haven’t seen them – here’s the omitted video from that amazing night.
