Well, here&#8217;s your chance: an entire concert from 1978!<\/p>\n<p>Watching this entire concert is daunting, but I encourage you to click on any point in the video, spend a minute or two, and and see if your highly developed Rock Town Hall sensibilities do not kick in. This performance, by a band dressed in the gamut of Rock&#8217;s Unfulfilled Fashion Ideas, is ripe with odd rock details that our Townspeople have made their specialty. For each RTH quirk you spot (eg, fashion\/hair oddities, rock stances, specific soloing faces, instrumentation, RTH Glossary-defined behaviors) list it in the Comments section with an indication of the time in the clip\u2014one detail per post\u2014in <em>Last Man Standing<\/em> fashion!<\/p>\n<p>Right off the bat, for instance, the clip features a guitarist in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/index.php\/rock%E2%80%99s-unfulfilled-fashion-ideas-overalls\/\" target=\"_blank\">overalls<\/a><\/strong>. Another example: I clicked on the concert at the <strong>14:35<\/strong> mark to witness a man in an <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocktownhall.com\/blogs\/index.php\/rock-s-unfulfilled-fashion-ideas-athletic-wear-confirmed\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland A&#8217;s jersey and hat<\/a><\/strong> playing vibes. Then I clicked again, around the <strong>28-minute mark<\/strong>, to hear a guitarist playing a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.midi-classics.com\/i\/p21298.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Q solo<\/a><\/strong>! Normal people don&#8217;t readily identify Dr. Q solos. We&#8217;re not normal.<\/p>\n<p>Make sense? In short, click on this concert video at any point and I bet within 1 minute you&#8217;ll see something that delights your RTH sensibilities. Please share your discoveries so that others might see through your eyes. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You say you&#8217;ve been meaning to check out Gentle Giant?
