Pittsburgh Roots of Rock and Roll

The Jaggerz
1990s1994BackstageRareyoutube

Highlights from the 20th Edition of the Roots of Rock and Roll in February of 1994 at the Benedum Center. Featured was an all-Pittsburgh lineup including Pure Gold, Leon Daniels of the El Venos, the Contrails, the La-Rells, the Del Vikings, the Jaggerz, the Marcels, the Vogues and Jimmy Beaumont and the Skyliners. I was blessed to see the show with my video camera "backstage right" and apologize for marginal audio and video, but it was a night to remember.
