JEFF SCOTT SOTO - Special Guest At Y&T Fan Appreciation Show
August 6, 2007, 17 years ago
The following message has been posted at singer JEFF SCOTT SOTO's website:
"The Bay Area rock legends Y&T; performed two special sold out shows at the Little Fox in Redwood City, CA, same venue JSS will be performing in September, as a special "Fan Appreciation" weekend just for the longtime fans of the band on August 3rd and 4th.There were many nostalgic raffles and surprises for the two nights including a raffle for a lucky audience member both nights to be brought up on stage to sing a Y&T; song of their choice with their heroes. To the audiences surprise on the Saturday night show, a second raffle ticket was called and none other than our own JSS called out from the audience - he had the lucky ticket with no one realizing it was him until he hit the stage... the audience let out a roar of surprise (yes folks, it was pre-planned via invitiation from the band days earlier) and they proceeded to play 'Open Fire', 'Don't Stop Running' and 'Mean Streak'.
Other surprises onstage were WHITESNAKE keyboardist Timothy Drury for one song with the band as well as original guitarist & Y&T; member Joey Alves.
It was a dream for Jeff to sing with this special band as he has been a long time fan since the early 80's. Dave Meniketti, singer of Y&T;, will return the favor and join JSS and band for some jamming and songs when they appear at the Little Fox on Tuesday, September 25th."
