I saw this man playing in an adult film dated back in the eighties. When the scripts were elaborated and the budgets large The main characters were in a disco and a rock band was playing on the stage. Waddy Wachtel was the guitar player. I remember it perfectly as the last think i would expect while watching the film was getting notice of a known musician...

While the Stones were recording and releasing Exile, Waddy was working the ocean liner circuit, playing on the SS Poseidon on its last voyage . . .
The first time I ever saw or even heard of Waddy was on Linda's Simple Dreams tour. We accidentally obtained the best possible seats ever. We were front row, center section, 8 feet left of where Linda stood (right in front of Waddy) in a small 3000 seat hall where the stage was 5 foot tall. We were 3-7 feet away from Waddy the whole night. The show was amazing. Linda was amazing. Waddy was spectacular. I remember it like it was last week. I can still clearly see Linda up thereQuote

One of my favorite non-Stones concerts - beleve it or not - was Linda Ronstadt on her Get Closer Tour in the early eighties. She had a smoking good band with Waddy at the helm. I think they opened with Tumbling Dice and they were just nailing every tune. Lee Sklar was also great on bass. I saw her years later with a different band and you could just hear and feel the huge hole where Waddy's guitar needed to be. Also glad to have seen him twice with the Winos...

didn't he get into trouble a few years ago for stuff on his computer?
Yes, actually Linda Ronstadt was how I first heard of and discovered Waddy. Also enjoyed seeing him hold down a fine band for Stevie Nicks in that same era...Quote

Also glad to have seen him twice with the Winos...shakingswaying her hips, cutey shortish hair style, singing her lungs out and smiling... and smiling. She was so pretty and very sexy.
I thought we were in for a mellow peaceful easy feeling somewhat-boring concert (my buddy and I took dates). It wasn't a Deep Purple of Kiss rock show, but it was far from a mellow yellow snooze fest. Waddy and Linda had high energy and kicked ass playing though amazing songs.
I used to obtain up close tickets (one way or another) all the time back then (for $5-7 bucks a ticket) and I loved exchanging smiles with the stars. We showed our appreciation and they played greater and we smiled more and they smiled back and we all had so much fun together.
That night I became an instant Waddy fan and there after kept seeing him and hearing seeing him and seeing hearing him everywhere with so many people. That bushy blonde hair, John Denver glasses and playing his killer guitar parts like a master.

Those women know how to rock. I love rock and roll women from Linda to Stevie to Joan to Courtney to Lita to the Wilson sisters... WOW!!! I love rock and roll women.
indubitably... I had a huge crush on Sheryl Crow for a while... then she went all country... but for several Sheryl tours in a row I was there, up close and having fun, like Steve McQueen on a fast machine, she made made everything all rightQuote

Cheers! I have a great love for the women of rock and roll myself! Linda was a babe back in the day! I also love all those you mentioned; especially the ladies of Heart! Nancy is a favorite of mine! Sheryl Crow is a more recent crush!

Forgot to add Linda to my list of artists I regret not seeing live in the other thread...by the time I started regularly attending concerts, she was pretty much done with her rock n roll tours, having moved on to her Nelson Riddle albums.
I think this is from the Simple Dreams tour (or around that time)...Waddy's with her, and she's got the shortish hair:

I came across that video a while ago - it's really a great performance. Love the way she sings the "When Cupid shot his dart" part (1:50 mark).
I remember taping her 1982 Thanksgiving night concert off the radio during the Get Closer tour. Really wish I had seen her that tour, as I had no idea she would be going on to other genres.
Still have those old cassettes from that concert, residing in the same box with my Stones Hampton Roads tapes from December '81!

Actually, I think that was her last real rock and roll tour. She came back around 1990, doing many of those old songs, but as I've mentioned before, the Waddy-less band had a huge gaping aural hole...

Interesting, do you remember the name of the movie?
Answer:I can not remember. It's been decades since I watched it...and those kind of films are not chosen becouse of their titles aren't they?...
