No, I am not talking about the hot sauce, but rather the hot little band that performed at the Tomorrowland Terrace area of Disneyland. This April 1975 shot shows the group giving guests their all. On a web forum I found this comment from the drummer of the group:
I am the drummer of that group called Tabasco and we were in Tomorrowland terrace at Disney World and at Disneyland. We were in Orlando in 1974 then in Disneyland in 1975. We had a lot of people that only went to the park to see our band, not caring about the rides, and that meant a lot to us, and that is why we remained for 8 years as the house band. We went back to Disney World Orlando in 1982 and we stayed there until 1989 at the Terrace, but we also played at the Tomorrowland Theater and in front of the castle for special events. Our agent was Sonny Anderson (RIP), great friend and musician.

Any of you readers out there remember Tabasco?

My sister and I were huge fans! Thank you for the awesome memories!
ReplyDeleteWe always remember Tabasco in Disney World Florida They were Fantastic .. I remember seeing them play at Pleasure Island and at tomorrow land .. I never forgot them .. I remember one of the girls sang a song Gloria Laura Branigan and she blew up the speaker her voice was so strong.. I am an old man now and my wife is an old lady but if we could see them play again we would get on a plane and go see them .. The entire band was so good ... Seeing them was better than seeing Disney ...

ReplyDeleteI worked at the Magic Kingdom in 1985 and remember the musical group Tobasco very well!! They were awesome and I couldn’t wait for them to play all the hit songs!!
ReplyDeleteI remember my dad specifically taking me to the Magic Kingdom to see Tabasco! Such amazing memories, they were really good! I specifically remember them playing Conga followed by Everybody Have Fun Tonight. Tabasco RULED!
ReplyDeleteI used to work at Disney back in the 80's and would come to the Tomorrowland Terrace on my days off just to watch Tabasco perform. Some great memories listening to them!
