THE DELCOUNTS

LIVE AT THE DOWNTOWN  ROCK FESTIVAL 1998 VIDEO

​

The Fabulous Del Counts have since become the longest running rock and roll band in Minnesota. (61 years) Charles Schoen has received two Lifetime achievement awards, (Bill Diehl & MN-HOF) and most importantly entertained millions of people across the Midwest.

SENSATIONAL THAT  THIS FOOTAGE WAS PRESERVED....

THE JOKERS WILD

30 YEAR REUNION CONCERT  1998

The  trio of Lon Knight, Denny Johnson and Pete Huber,  finally called it quits in 1969. They released 3 singles on Metrobeat and Peak records.

​

Their complete album Liquid Giraffe was never released. Starting as a five man band, most of the material was recorded by the three main members: Lonnie Knight, Denny Johnson and Pete Huber.

​

GREAT STUFF

 

 

​

 SOUTH 40

The South 40 would eventually go on to become Crow. These are excerpts from an album they recorded live at a club in Robbinsdale back in 1968. Very historic piece of music considering the band that they would become. It also includes the history of the nightclub on it.
