Page "The 77s" Paragraph 5

On 13 March 1988, The 77s performed with The Alarm and House of Freaks at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, California, entertaining patrons such as Neil Young.

Despite riding a wave of popularity with the critics, Tootle and Volz left the band later that same year.

While the band reformed in the early 90s with the addition of former Strawmen members David Leonhardt ( guitar ) and Harmon, the live album 88 and Sticks and Stones, a collection of previously unreleased recordings and demos, were released.

One song from Sticks and Stones (" MT ") was later covered by Zoppi ( featuring future 77s drummer Bruce Spencer ) and featured a number of times on the popular FOX television series " Beverly Hills, 90210 ".
