Quoted from jujubee:>Really interested in how you got three members of The Who, and others, to sign your machines — most do the backglass just because you can haul it to the show a lot easier!
Short Answer :I used to work backstage for Bill Graham Presents in The Bay Area until I went out with the Stones. The Who gleefully signed the game backstage at The Oakland Coliseum.
Long Answer:
The signatures are better than my photography. I am also very amateur at all this. I did it just for me and was planning on keeping a long time and passing them down. I now know why people are so negative on messing up the play field.Sometimes things change,and life doesn't go as planned.I had over 60 games. I only kept the signed rock and roll ones. I was in a position to provide games of all sorts backstage for many concerts. On occasion I would plan it and do it. I did have a foosball signed by Eric Clapton and a Corvette by Tom Petty. I was just fooling around and being social and silly. I have some flyers signed as well for all the games mentioned. I figure if they will sign a pinball they would sign a flyer. Keith and Ron signed a few snooker table felts for me and Stones pinball flyers. Mick signs nothing or very little. Elton signs everything. It was fun. I'm retired. Nothing serious. I'll probably give them to my nieces and nephews . I got them in many shows . They are into it. They grew up on our music.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Very cool, the sentimental value of that is priceless.
