Suzi Quatro - Live at the Record Plant, Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 3-25-1975

Now that I've finished posting everything from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts (aside from a couple of possible stragglers), I want to focus more on posting other on-going series, like concerts from the Record Plant, Ultrasonic, Midnight Special, and the bottomless well of BBC recordings. So here's another Record Plant recording. This one features a musical act new to this blow, Suzi Quatro.

Quatro was a pioneer for being a female rock and roll star in the 1970s when there weren't many. As an American, she started out in the late 1960s as part of an all-female band called the Pleasure Seekers. They didn't have much commercial success. But they gained the attention of British producer Mickie Most, who was only interested in Suzi Quatro. He brought her to England and connected her with the hit-making songwriting duo Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. They would go on to write most of her hits. Her first big hit was "Can the Can," which went all the way to Number One in Britain in 1973. More hits followed, until about 1980.

However, while Quatro had many hits in Britain and other countries around the world, she only had limited success in the U.S. At the time of this concert, she'd had almost no success there at all. But in 1977, she got a key repeat guest role as the character "Pinky Tuscadero" on the popular T.V. show "Happy Days," which finally got her a lot of attention the U.S. That led to her having one big hit in the U.S. in 1978, "Stumblin' In." 

This concert must have been part of a tour to try to help break her in the U.S. in 1975. Interestingly, she didn't play her songs that had been big hits in Europe, like "Can the Can," "Devil Gate Drive," "Daytona Demon," and "48 Crash." She did play her latest single at the time, "Your Mama Won't Like Me," but that only made it to Number 31 in Britain and didn't chart in the U.S. at all.
