  1. Motörhead, Nashville P***y & Supersuckers Show

    Motörhead, Nashville P***y & Supersuckers Show

    June 11, 2000. Motörhead. Nashville P***y. Supersuckers. A lineup that should’ve been a stampede. And only 372 people showed up. That number still hurts. Less than 400 bodies for a bill that loud, legendary, and unapologetic. Tickets were around $20–$22 and it still didn’t move like it should have. But the people who were there remember it. Lemmy. Up close. Real as it gets. One of the most vivid memories? Him beating on a pinball machine that wouldn’t work, mad as hell, barking at it like it owed him money. Pure Lemmy. Nashville P***y was a burner. Supersuckers were exactly what you wanted them to be. That whole night was rock and roll in its raw form. And Motörhead did come through again later — including a Zoo bill that tied into the Judas Priest / Testament world. That’s also the night the meet-and-greet stories started stacking up, and the pit was full of musicians watching musicians. But this June 2000 show? That was the one that deserved a packed house. 372 is criminal.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #Motorhead #Lemmy #NashvillePussy #Supersuckers #RockAndRollStories #ConcertHistory #OKCMusic #ZooAmphitheatre #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahoma #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

  2. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones & Total Chaos

    The Mighty Mighty Bosstones & Total Chaos

    You had two sides of the room that did not mix. Skinheads on one side. SHARPs on the other. Real tension. Real politics. The kind of night where you’re not just running a show—you’re playing judge, jury, and peacekeeper just to keep it from turning into a riot. At points it looked like Moses parting the sea. The floor literally split down the middle like an early wall of death, except it wasn’t a fun mosh-pit moment. It felt like a setup for a fight. Total Chaos is punk, and punk crowds can bring that edge. The Bosstones were a different animal, but they came up in that same northeastern circuit where those scenes overlap. Security had to stop the show more than once. Keith Graham was working hard, trying to keep the room from boiling over. Everyone could feel it—one wrong push and it turns into a gang fight. We’d done a lot of shows, but we hadn’t crossed that kind of situation before. That’s the part people don’t see. Sometimes the hardest thing about a concert isn’t the load-in.  It’s keeping the crowd from tearing itself apart.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #MightyMightyBosstones #TotalChaos #PunkShows #SkaPunk #ConcertSecurity #VenueLife #BackstageStories #LiveMusicBusiness #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

  3. ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band & Eric Burdon

    ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band & Eric Burdon

    Some bands aren’t just bands. They’re the reason you end up in the music business. ZZ Top is that band. Over the years, we did a lot of business with their world. You meet crew guys. You watch the touring machine evolve. You see faces change. But some things stay consistent—there aren’t many people cooler than Billy Gibbons. And it still hits different seeing him in Ardmore, Oklahoma, sitting at 2 Frogs like it’s just another day. But the roots go back farther than any of that. Age 14. Fair Ground Speedway. Tres Hombres era. On one bill: ZZ Top  Lynyrd Skynyrd  The Marshall Tucker Band  The Animals (Eric Burdon) And the ticket? $4.00. That’s the kind of lineup that doesn’t exist anymore at that price. Four-dollar admission to a night of southern rock history. The kind of show that rewires your brain and makes you chase live music for the rest of your life. That’s not nostalgia. That’s origin story.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #ZZTop #BillyGibbons #LynyrdSkynyrd #MarshallTuckerBand #EricBurdon #TheAnimals #SouthernRock #ConcertHistory #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahoma #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

    If You Stay in the Problem, You Never Find a Solution

    Max says it plain. If you stay in the problem, you never find the solution. That lesson came from the woman sitting to his left, his sister Deana. When they first started spending more time together again, she saw him at his worst. Leg straightened out. Pain loud. Mood even louder. And she didn’t baby him. She held it up and hit him with the truth. “What are you gonna do now, big boy?” Even joked about whacking him with a cane when he was acting up. But the point wasn’t the joke. The point was movement. Today, Max is sitting here talking to the world because he didn’t stay stuck. He wants anyone listening to hear this, no matter how deep you are, no matter how much it hurts, no matter how heavy the pressure feels, there’s always a solution. Fear might get you through a moment. Faith is what gets you to the other side. And it takes patience. This didn’t happen overnight. This has been nearly a year of fighting through it. That’s the real story.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #MaxBakerJr #DeanaBaker #Mindset #FaithOverFear #KeepMovingForward #RealLifeStories #Resilience #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahoma #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

    Deftones & Glassjaw at Brady Village

    July 30, 2000. Brady Village in Tulsa. 2,571 people. Deftones and Glassjaw on the same bill. And the crazy part? You lived in Tulsa at the time. Glassjaw is one of those bands people don’t “kinda like.” You’re either all the way in or you don’t get it. Daryl Palumbo is that dude, and seeing Glassjaw in that era, in that room, with that crowd size, is the kind of night you talk about for the rest of your life. The worst feeling is realizing you could’ve gotten in, you could’ve been on that floor, and you just missed the moment. That’s the pain of a real concert calendar. Some dates are history. Some dates are regrets.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #Deftones #Glassjaw #BradyVillage #TulsaMusic #2000Concerts #DarylPalumbo #LiveMusicHistory #ConcertStories #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahoma #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

    Ticket Buying Challenge: The Homeless vs The Cops

    Ticket drops used to feel like the land run. People camped. Lines formed overnight. Rules said you had to be in line, but they didn’t always say it had to be you standing there every minute. So you’d see people try creative workarounds, helping others out while trying to hold a spot and stay in the game. Then the real circus started. When it came time to move the line, it turned into a sprint across Reno like a marathon kickoff. “Go!” and everyone bolts, dodging traffic, racing to get back into position. And when folks ended up too far forward? “Restart.” Then they made it even worse. Suddenly it’s an obstacle course, running around pillars like it’s a field day, not a ticket line. OCPD looked bored, and the crowd was getting cooked. By the third restart, everyone was done. The system finally settled, people landed where they landed, and the night moved on. That’s the part people forget. Before online queues, buying tickets was physical, chaotic, and sometimes ridiculous.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #TicketLineStories #ConcertChaos #OldSchoolTicketing #OKCMusicHistory #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen  #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

    I Just Got Released From The Hospital Today

    The day Max was released from the hospital with a new knee.  Rehab starting. Exercises underway. And even with the fresh pain of surgery, Max says it still doesn’t compare to what he was living with before. That’s the part people don’t understand until it’s them. Chronic pain doesn’t just hurt, it starts messing with your mind. It gets to the point where getting in a chair, getting in the truck, doing normal life feels impossible. Max said if it kept going the way it was, another week might have pushed him to a place he didn’t want to be. This is the turning point. Not “everything is fixed overnight.” Not “no struggle.” Just the first day where the path forward is real.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #MaxBakerJr #Recovery #NewKnee #RealLifeStories #LifeAfterPain #BehindTheScenesLife #Oklahoma #OKC Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.

  8. David Allan Coe’s Nephew Easy Jesus & Pimpadelic

    May 31

    David Allan Coe’s Nephew Easy Jesus & Pimpadelic

    Pimpadelic was that kind of band. Even as a spectator, you could feel the room going sideways. They were shock-rock meets rap-rock chaos, and it was so wild it made other rowdy crowds look tame. Ralph was in disbelief, and that takes a lot. Then there’s Easy Jesus. Easy Jesus is David Allan Coe’s nephew, and that connection mattered when it came to getting attention for bookings. Texas roots, easy to reach, easy to route, and the name carried weight in the right circles. The story also hits on what could have been. Pimpadelic had momentum, a record on Tommy Boy Records, and the kind of unpredictability that could have exploded with the right touring package. Put them on the road with Insane Clown Posse and it might have been a perfect match. But band drama and instability can kill a run fast, no matter how good the product is. If you were at one of those shows at The Other Side, you already know. Wildest nights don’t always come from the biggest names. Sometimes they come from the bands nobody can control.  #HeresTheDealPodcast #Pimpadelic #EasyJesus #DavidAllanCoe  #DiamondBallroom #ICP #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.
