You can listen to the games beginning at 1 p.m. here. (The broadcast sounds better on a computer than on a phone.) The next home games are on April 7.

Throwback can apply to tumbling too, right? Today’s photo comes from October of 2016 so it’s a throwback in that sense too.

@YandTRocks @AaronLeighynt @DaveMeniketti

Y&T were huge in the San Francisco Bay Area when I was growing up. The radio stations (KOME, KSJO, KRQR) played songs off of Earthshaker, Black Tiger, and Mean Streak as much as they played Led Zeppelin, the Eagles, or AC/DC. I’m always a little surprised when I talk to people outside of the Bay Area about Y&T who haven’t heard of Y&T or only know Contagious and/or Summertime Girls (two songs I don’t particularly care for and never have heard–except live). I checked out after Mean Streak when they went soft.

Anyway, it’s odd to see them playing relatively small venues, outside the Bay Area, and the fan base knowing the songs I don’t know and not really getting that into the songs I love. That said, the only disappointing thing from my March 17, 2018 evening in Grants Pass was the omission of Midnight in Tokyo from the setlist. I’ve enjoyed over a thousand, real “midnights in Tokyo” and could have used another.

Opening for Y&T last night in Grants Pass was Cruella. And opening for Cruella was an amazing sunset.

The Raiders are riding the wave of seven-game winning streak. Today they will play two more against Northwest University, who they swept in yesterday’s twin bill. First game begins at 11.
