> [@Duckster](#): > > [http://threedognight.com/cory-wells-mourned/](http://threedognight.com/cory-wells-mourned/) > > Cory Wells was 74. Story from the past I may have related before. Three Dog Night was appearing at the Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, AL around 88/89. The stage was originally supposed to have some teeny bopper/punk band but scheduling delays switched them to another stage. 500 or so youngsters had crowded around the stage and then these “old guys” (TDN) came out and started playing. The kids hadn’t heard because of the earphones from their Walkmans and non-existence of cell phones/facebook/instatwit etc…😕 As the kids turned to run in horror from the stage:eek:, they were blocked in by 2000+ oldsters. Compounding their nightmare, the oldsters were their **parents** - who were also singing along word-for-word including every “0oooh baby, baby” from the original songs:D:D. To the band’s credit, they played their oldies and others from the late 60s/early 70s at the original pacing and lyrics - no extra riffs or jamming. Never had to listen to, “And now for a cut from our upcoming release titled, ‘Crap You Didn’t Come to Hear’”. ---
