New England - Infinity Live Concert Series




New England
Infinity Live Concert Series
[circa 1980's]


Dino:


I have no date for this one either.  Another lost cue sheet I'm afraid.  This is the band "New England" from the Infinity Live Concert Series.  Probably early 80's.  Transferred from the original LP sent to the radio stations.


Some info on the band:
Biography    by Doug Stone

"This quartet formed around Boston under the auspice of powerhouse manager Bill Aucoin, who ruled the '70s with Kiss. Guitarist and vocalist John Fannon proved to be the guiding light of the band, with Jimmy Waldo providing impressive keyboards and Gary Shea on bass while Hirsh Gardener worked the drums. Paul Stanley came over from the Kiss camp to produce New England's sterling debut (featuring the incomparable "P.U.N.K." and the incredible "Nothing to Fear"), an orchestrated, absorbing affair with the boys giving all. The lush "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya" nicked the Top 40 and proved to be New England's moment in the sun. Despite an opening stint supporting the falling but still high-profile Kiss, New England unfortunately slid between the cracks with Starz and Piper, two other talented Aucoin projects. The similar sophomore effort, Explorer Suite, garnered almost no notice, and Todd Rundgren's production on the innovative Walking Wild also didn't produce sales. New England dissolved, with Shea and Waldo ending up in Alcatrazz."

Can't find very many decent pics of the band.  So no covers with this one.  Attached is the ONE photo I found.

enjoy,
