Roberts-Meisner Band – The Odyssey Room, Sunnyvale, CA, March 14, 1988
4 comments
I owned the Odyssey Room in Sunnyvale for 20 years I opened it in 1969 and closed it in 1989. I booked the Roberts Meisner band numerous times at the Odyssey Room it was one of the greatest live performance acts we had there in 20 years and we had some great ones. I visited with Randy a lot. Randy died on my 80th birthday July 26, 2023. I also owned club outside of Reno called the Reindeer Lodge in the mountain between Reno and Incline Village that they played at. I had an 80th birthday party at the Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City where I live that Barry Melton and his band played at. I believe I was on stage talking about Randy Meisner when he passed away from what I know about his death in the early evening. I didn’t find out that he had died that night till two days later but I was talking about my experiences in the night club and concert production businesses and spent a lot of time talking about Randy that evening . God rest his soul. Thanks Randy for all the music !
How wonderful to hear from you. Thanks for sharing your memories of Randy and the Odyssey Room. I think he would be happy that you were remembering him at his passing with music and friends. I think Barry Melton is “The Fish” from Country Joe & The Fish? How cool! I will pass your message on to Randy’s family. Thanks again and my best to you.
Hi Jessica
My name is Jeremiah
I don’t mean to step out of bounds here but I need help
There was another club in the same corner
My wife and myself went to see Lydia Pense in 1984 and for the world of me I can’t remember the name of the club
It was on the north east corner of the el Camino and Wolfe road in Sunnyvale
Please help
Thank you
Hi Jeremiah,
I’m not sure what that venue would be. I did a quick search and saw where she played the Odyssey Club a couple of times in the ’80s. She also played another venue on El Camino in Sunnyvale called the Country Store. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
