I know it’s the height of narcissism to quote your own post, but I don’t think people realize the magnitude of this. So I’m adding a boatload of hashtags to hopefully expand reach. This is Bay Area rock history.

Okay, this is insane.

Any Bay Area rock fan who’s been around a few decades knows Y&T. Or should know them. They are celebrating 50 years, photo below is from their recent show in Santa Cruz.

Dave Meniketti is auctioning off some rare Y&T memorabilia, including this. His ONLY copy of the test pressing of their very first album, recorded in 1976.

Unfortunately, it’s beyond my budget. But I want my fellow Mastodonians to bid this into the stratosphere. This is rarest of the rare, the definition of one of a kind. The ultimate prize for any Bay Area metal fan.

No, I’m not getting any commission. I just can’t believe something like this is even available. Astounding. #YandT #BayAreaMetal

I had a really weird day last week.

Love seeing Yesterday & Today here. Just saw Y&T kickoff their 50th (!) Anniversary tour in Santa Cruz a few weeks ago. Dave Meniketti still amazing as always.

All great championship teams begin with the same thing:

A strong supporting cast.

All these acts came through the Bay in just the Fall of 1971. Can you imagine?
