He was with us just a few seconds ago.

SPEAKER_03 5:43

I know.

SPEAKER_06 5:47

So yeah, as we wait for Richard to rejoin, we'll just talk about um let's talk a little bit about the Jesse Johnson show out at Yoshi's in Oakland. How was it?

SPEAKER_03 6:01

Oh my goodness. It was fantastic. It was so awesome. I went to both shows, but I got to start from the beginning because it was so awesome. So uh I'll start from the very, very beginning because um I met my girl Olga at the airport, and we set it up where we would meet each other at the airport and just start doing videos, and we start doing videos, and we were like, we're gonna we're gonna make a shout out to Jesse. We're gonna say, Jesse, we're coming to your show and we coming in hot. You know, we of course we tag them and then um he put us on his story. So we're like, oh my gosh, Jesse put us on the story. So we go to the uh, you know, the night of the event, we start off with the QA, which is like the VIP, and it's the QA. And Alfonso was like the DJ or the MC for the night. And he was just kind of working a room, going around the room, asking people if they had any questions for Jesse and stuff like that. Jesse comes out and he kind of when he comes out, he's a little like shy, a little introvert. I was like, oh, okay. But then it's like, you know, when the first question happens, he's like, he just talks, talk, talks. I was like, yeah, okay. So um there was a guy from his childhood that he grew up with that was in the audience for the VIP, and him and Jesse kind of talked a lot. And then Jesse said he was gonna bring him up on the stage later for the show to perform. So they kind of talked about old times and um, you know, growing up in I think Illinois. And then there was another guy from New York that had some questions, and then they talked. And in that QA, I learned that Jesse wrote for Vanity, because I love Vanity. And he said that he wrote um Undress Me for Vanity for the movie Action Jackson. And I was like, what? So he talked about that, and then um, you know, just people asking questions and him just answering them and being really funny. Uh, you know, he's got a little potty mouth, but he was being really cute and funny. And then um, I was trying to get Alfonso's attention because I at first I was like, is it just a QA? Because you know, I wanted to get a picture with him. So I was like, is it just a QA? Are we gonna be able to, you know, take pictures with Jesse? Or is he gonna be able to sign out like uh albums and everything? So um Alfonso never got to me because it was like so many people wanted to uh ask questions. But um pretty much after the QA, then was the time when we would uh take pictures with Jesse and get autographs and stuff like that. So so when he finishes doing the QA, Jesse kind of like looks at me, right? And I'm like, is is he looking at me or is there somebody behind me that he knows? Because he's kind of like like this, and I'm like, Me. So I realize it's me he's talking to. So I'm like, okay, let me go closer to the stage. And he's like, You like come. And I was like, okay, he is talking to me. So I go closer to the stage, and it's kind of like you know, the stage has the stairs, and you kind of go up, so I kind of go up a couple of stairs, and then he comes to me, he bends down and he's like, Yeah, so your videos, you're funny. Um, you said you're coming in hot. I was like, Oh my gosh. So we kind of just talked a little bit. He's like, Where's your other friend? Where's Olga? And uh, well, he didn't he didn't know Ogre's number, but he's like, Where's your other friend? And I was like, Oh, Olga. And I said, She's around here somewhere, and I'm trying to find Olga because he's like he remembers us from you know Instagram story. So um he just was really friendly and everything like that. And then he gave me a hug, and then no, no, oh, I forgot this. Um, I went to shake his hand. He was like, No, no, no, no, give me a hug. So I gave him a hug and I was like, Oh, thanks, Jesse. And then um then we talked a little bit, and that's when I was like, Oh yeah, my friend Ogre's around here somewhere. And then um I said, I'll find it because you're gonna have to talk to her. And then he gave me a kiss on my right cheek. And I was like, I'm never watching this cheek again. And that pretty much was um uh the QA, and then we all lined up for to take pictures with him and to get things signed, and people bought their guitars and album covers and posters. You could also buy posters and then he would sign it for you, you know. And so that was fun. So that was that was pretty that kind of went over because you know, everybody wanted a picture and you know, um, to get things signed. So um, yeah, so that probably took about two hours, I think. Oh, and then they kind of had to rush us because the show was starting the first show. So yeah, so that was the whole QA in the VIP, and that was wonderful.

SPEAKER_06 11:33

Very nice. So, about how was this a large venue or a small venue?

SPEAKER_03 11:37

Or it was pretty like uh I would say maybe medium, not too small, not too big, nice size, you know. And in the for the VIP QA, it was it was a lot of people, a lot of people got that ticket, you know, to like talk to him and get their pictures taken.

SPEAKER_06 11:57

Okay, yeah, very cool.

SPEAKER_03 21:58

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_06 22:34

I've got a quick little Jesse story. I was trying to reach this on one of the shows before, but uh Jesse Johnson was actually Jesse Johnson. It was like several different people on the bill, like new edition of the Jets. And Jesse was one of the artists that were performing. This was back in 85 during the Jesse Johnson review. And I was so excited, I was like, okay, I'm not here for new edition. I'm not here for anybody else but Jesse. I'm not the ball. Jesse comes out. He plays for ten seconds and makes the announcement.

SPEAKER_02 23:16

Oh no. Oh no.

SPEAKER_06 23:22

Two and a half seconds.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

Oh no. You should have came to this show because he was on there for like two and a half hours. That's the first show. The second show he probably was in three hours.

SPEAKER_06 23:35

Wow. Yeah, if I could if I could get Jesse a little bit closer, maybe Atlanta or Charlotte or something. I am there because I'm I'm in the southeast.

SPEAKER_03 23:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:51

Definitely. Especially if he's got new music to promote and get out there. Let's just go ahead and play some of the footage from the June 6 show, so this is gonna be something new for you. I'm thinking Prince's birthday. April seventh. So if you need me to stop the video and you need to say something that's fine, if you want to talk over the video, that's fine too. It's a commentary, that's what that's what it's all about. But let's go ahead and get into it.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

And that's where you met a guy by the name of Boris Day.

SPEAKER_06 25:07

This is Alfonso talk.

SPEAKER_12 25:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:15

Alright, okay, tell me about it. I'm only going by what I read on Google. See, I'm learning right now.

SPEAKER_05 25:22

He came into Minnesota, and he was in a band with me, Morris Day, and Alexander. The band was called Enterprise Band Pleasure. I got that right now.

SPEAKER_06 25:34

And this is Sylvan Carwell.

SPEAKER_05 25:41

And the next thing that happened, Prince came down and took him out of the band, and Morris too, and history happened.

SPEAKER_01 25:54

The time. Right after Perin in 1984, that's when Jesse decided to do his own thing. And um, hence the album, Jesse Johnson Review, and I think you know some songs from that album. Can you help me? I want to be your man. I want my girl. You're gonna hear all those songs tonight and more. Um on behalf of uh Mark Elliott and the A-list music circle, we are so proud to bring Jesse Johnson the Yoshis, you guys. You have no idea. This is history in the making right here in the Bay Area. So you guys are stories.

SPEAKER_05 26:36

Oh, let's hear this. Bring it. Oh, so when Jesse finally um was in the time, um he got his own deal and everything, and then so um uh I happened to be walking past the record store. And um but previous to that, I worked on That's Me Singing, I think 35 years ago. I don't like it. I like my mic. I might don't like you either, are you about I guess it's been 35, 40 years, you guys. The first, the very first record Jesse Johnson record. Um I did I want my girl with him. So that's me on the background, and I ended doing Love Strike with him. And history went on. So, you know, we have been my brother and sisters forever, and all of us are very close, so we just all kind of grew up together. So that's it.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

Alright, we gotta get the show started, you guys, because there's another show right after this show that has nothing to do with Jesse Johnson. So with that, very giving up for Jesse Johnson.

SPEAKER_06 28:00

So was that kind of a repeat of the night before?

SPEAKER_03 28:03

No, she didn't talk for our show. She didn't talk for our show, they just came out.

SPEAKER_06 28:11

No, it's gonna get remastered and it's gonna be an add-on. It's gonna, I know that record would be one. And then there's a bunch of like outtakes and demos and stuff that I'm literally almost giving away for free.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:58

Yeah, this is pretty good.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:01

Yeah, I remember this, yeah. Family over there, Miss Zina and Sulan, they're mad at me because I'm giving away everything. I'm giving away all my gold, records, platinum records, everything. Grammys, every award because he's being slic. I know what I've done.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:16

Yeah, he's trying to hide.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:17

So she's gonna be like, put your phone down. Oh, here it comes. Nowhere else, but so I'm gonna get it all in the way, and what and how's it gonna work? It's like dope guitars and things like that. It's like your buyer number, blah, blah, blah, you'll get this. And so I've done this thing there, but I thought it was crazy, but I actually learned it from friends. I went in, he took me in a room in the back of uh one of the bedrooms in his house, and he opened up the closet and goes, Listen, look at this. I didn't know what I was looking at, but it was like the he had everything. It's like he knew he was gonna beat things. He had every shoe, every jacket, everything he wore on the cover because it was hanging right there in his closet because it was platforms that must have been from the first album. I didn't know what I was looking for. I was like, cool. But when I figured it out, then when I went in with the time, I have everything. I have like I was pulling game plates off the doors and shit, like the time on it, or something, anything. I mean, I have everything, and so I'm giving all that away. I'm like, you know, wow. If you move by the record, I'm just gonna get people's address, and they don't know what they're getting. If I get time cassettes, I'm open, may not even play, you get all kind of shit. I'm just getting I just got this when I went on. Right. I was saying the same thing. I'll take it. Crowd was cool tonight, crowd wasn't that cool, you know, and all that. Just got my hand writing and I don't give it all that away. Okay, we got time for uh two more questions.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:48

You sir.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:49

Uh you mentioned the compilation albums coming up, so that is officially you're okay with that. I guess compilation albums. There's there's a sign out on Facebook yesterday for uh Cherry Red in the UK taking orders for your first three AM records as a compilation. Okay, so that's why I was asked because you notify it if you don't want it to.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:10

No, it's okay. I hope they do sell five million countries anymore because I ain't still in television. No, but what it is, I've been so fortunate, like all the this 22, I think it is 22, 2022, all my copyrights masters publishing everything came back to me. So they can do whatever they want to. So they don't have to give it to me. All that time went by publishing and all that shit from someone. Everybody knows that what what uh record people know about is the copyright. The copyright share. No one no labels ever need to get to uh recording artists. Publishers are book writers know about copyright. That's why the guy who wrote a great salesman still making tons out of that one book because it was printed in lines for every language on earth. And so artists don't know about that. So somebody needs to start doing scenarios with artists about owning your copyright from the game because you don't own it and you don't own it, and you don't know you own it until it these things come up. Yeah, I think I filed in you gotta file like two and a half years. It's like getting a divorce anonymously, you gotta file like two and a half years in advance, and then the companies is really kind of fucked up. The companies will put an ad in the paper. I don't get a paper. But they'll put an ad in the paper, it runs for seven days. If you don't respond to that, they get that shit for another like 60 years or something. So luckily I have you know had really good attorneys and I thought that 2017 and so you go fast forward 2021, 2022 when everything started coming back. And now with all the legislation that was passed, in 2013 you don't have to wait 2017. Because I'm telling you, Prince more Prince and Michael? Shit. That dashes were dick was holding a lot of serious, serious. I mean, imagine Prince hold a copyright massive purple ring. He and every other record that before that, I mean it's serious money, like serious money. Serious. Even crazy as he is and all that with his uh, you know uh R. Kelly. Independent publisher, he owns everything he ever did. The whole time. It's like two of the biggest publishers in the world. Independent publishers that ever die anymore. So that's what I do now. I apologize, but I own all that shit. So if it does what it does, be surprised. If you own it, you don't have to do big time. You'll be living in hookers and cocaine if that's your thing. I wish that was my thing.

SPEAKER_08 1:18:25

I don't know if um I got to leave that maybe three or four years ago. Three hours. Yes. And we were talking with the blue piece right now. A story that came into detail. A story about a blue piece I guess you had with the Princess Vang. It was like the most hilarious story I guess. Yeah, how do you see it? So can you speak on that display?

SPEAKER_10 1:19:16

This is funny. Yeah. This is saying when you like the first tour, the first tour, we knew nothing. I mean, when I say we mean nothing, we don't mean nothing. So the first tour, first time off there was a controversy on it. So the first tour we came out, we didn't know shit. We didn't know anything, we know shit. So the second tour, um our manager at the time, Jamie Shu walked in with the uh swatches for material on a Sunday. The time that rehearsed Sunday week was uh a lot, I guess before we could be watching. So we rehearsed. Jamie walked in with uh swatches from the material. And it was a when the time we would go on, the prince would cut, you know, you couldn't use uh, you know, they wouldn't use all the lights we could have. Like how lights and I was really stupid. I was wearing black, so I really disappeared. She walked in with the swatches, and so everybody thinks when I wear her fuchsia, they think that it was a plan thing. It wasn't nothing like that. She walked in with this watch is a material and it was a shark skin. You know how shark skin changes colors and it was a shark skin fuchsia, fuchsia swatch, and I said, you should wear this, and he said, Oh no, people already say enough stuff about me. And when he said that to me, and I took on the miss Bernardo, and I was like, I'll wear it. I was like, I'll wear it in that thought, it was that simple. And so it worked, it worked, but it wasn't planned. So it worked because I would come on stage in the dark, he'd be like, hey, Joel Lusena, 30,000 people, and you walk on stage in the dark, and people go, jazz, jazz. And you're like, damn, see how he's seeing shit. But because we learned what we learned getting our ass kicked up, we kicked the shit out of him on the second tour. And then and if anybody say we didn't, y'all didn't see that tour. Because we we were double shifting it. Like we were behind a curtain for Vanity's six, killing that shit. Bam, bam, bam, but with beards and shit on, crazy shit. Because you know it was a big places, and people would come around on the stage, they could see us. So we would all have to. Then we'd run off stage with a time, have 11 minutes to get hair, makeup, clothes, and be right back there. Ready to go. So we were kind of, and we would, and then, and for most of the tour, for good, almost half of the tour, we went getting paid for it. So we were angry. So when y'all see us on stage and we weren't, we were really like we were angry because we were killing it, we were taking it out on the music. But yeah, we were really, it was really like that. We were really like that. So at the end of the tour, because Prence was like, you know, he would he would do things to you, but you can do them to back. So after the second tour, he's like, fuck that. So he used to do this thing in the song. It was like, I think it was less work. And he would, you know, he would he'd reach into his trench coat pocket and pull out his little dainty underwear and be like that. Man, we were like, we stopped in Denver and I was walking, I was, I would go out, I would run it up and down the hallways just to say and say whatever. So Denver, I said, I'm not gonna go outside because people say you can't breathe here. But I went outside and was looking down downtown Denver, and I saw like a shop that had a pair of underwear that was like lease this big. I don't know who this shit is for, but I was like, I want those. And so I bought them and I was waiting for the light opportunity, and so was the last day of tour, and it was us there's a time no the time zap, I think was on. No, yeah, so it had to be the controversy tour because it wasn't a zap. It was a time zap, friend. So I put that shit in the talk, and we're on this side of the stage. And I'm telling you, I'll sit on the side of this. We're standing on this side of the stage. This is the audience, y'all the audience in there's this side, we're on this side, just waiting. He goes, I got my side. People are shitting me. He did it like this. I'm telling you that he was mad and keeping us like Stanley Kubrick. He was really high. And everybody was like scared.

SPEAKER_09 1:23:57

Power was laughing, my ass, like it was like, you know, when the magician pulled his car.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:06

He, I swear to God, I wish it was kind of funny, but I'm really glad there wasn't, because at the time we were a bunch of fools. So we were, you know, Riverisa got in the ground and meet up fans and shit after the show that threw shit because we were we were no joke. So he pulled that shit. He's like, oh god. And he almost stopped singing. And he held the shit up. I was dying. So after that, we were like, no, we gave these, we gave these motherfuckers. So we had two green garbage bags, put a hole in weed to put onto them. We had that shit on like the military. It was juicing back then when people had the curls, we had the juice bags on our head, and just tons of eggs that were waiting in. So we we went to chase him, and he actually got in trouble because it was a like, I forget how high the stage was. It was a, you know, it was a big idea, I like a colise hand type. So the stage was really high, like really like 10, 20 feet almost in there. And he was running, and Zap had this massive, massive set of drums that were on the rolling platform thing where they were rolling out and rolling out. And he was running and hit those drums and they went right over the cliff. That was him. So we were like, he was running so hard anyway. We we da da da da. Then he had that dude, he had a man, Big Chick. So Big Chick, I was by myself, and so Big Chad, Big Chick grabbed me from behind, so Big Chick got me like that, lifted me into the dressing room, and they chained, they handcuffed me to this coat rack, and they're like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like throwing shit at me, and I'm like, I'm gonna kill you. And it was a colt rack, and you know, we play the places where like the sports teams play. So I'm like moving this thing, and then I'm getting mad at matter. I yanked that shit down totally. You ever seen Roaches and hit the lights on? Some of y'all know what I'm talking about. My first minute is gonna be like everybody's ever. So they and I I went after Prince, and he was Bobby Z ran through the door first, and it was one of those doors that closed, you know. And Prince kept looking back. Don't look back. But he kept looking back, and then the door, the edge of the door, I really thought he hurt himself, but he ran and he and the door, wherever the door was like the end of that door really hard, like BAM! But he slid around the door and kept. I was like, okay, I'm good. And then I opened the door, and all the time members are there with uh garbage bags on. And then we then we attacked the man. We almost killed that man. Only one we didn't fuck with because he was we didn't get along. We never said two words to him was Dez Dickerson. Because he didn't say nothing to anybody and we didn't say nothing to his ass in. But yeah, it was it was an epic food, but it was epic. I mean, it was so bad Terry Lewis was, we had Matt Fink, and Terry was so close to him that Terry, you know if somebody's this close to you and you miss them. It was so bad, he was caught.

SPEAKER_09 1:27:19

The eggs were breaking in his hand because he was like, oh, you're missing and he was this close. He was so bad, he was breaking it off the floor.
