As The Esquires, the group recorded a single in 1965 on Salem SR-003 (Shake A Tail Feather / Down The Track). As The Bold, the group recorded and released a 1966 single, Cameo 430[/blue] (Gotta Get Some( A track that has featured on Pebbles,Garage Beat '66 and more comps)/ Robin Hood.

That was followed by a 1967 single released under the name of Steve Walker & The Bold, Dynovoice 232[/blue] Train Kept A Rollin' / Found What I Was Looking For.

They were the house band at the Playboy Club in NYC in 1968 where they played 7 nights a week (and jam sessions on Sunday afternoon to boot!) for a full year. It is during this time that guitarist Bob La Palm is said to have met and taught Joe Walsh (then of The James Gang) his techniques for using the echoplex effect on guitar (as is so elegantly exemplified on track "Free Fugue", from the ABC album). It's also around this time that as the band was moving with the times to a more psychedelic style, they dropped the "the" from their "the Bold" billing. It is interesting to also note, perhaps uncoincidentally, that producer Bill Szymczyk (who later went on to produce Joe Walsh's other band, The Eagles) took an interest in Bold during this time period and went on to produce their only full length LP, self-titled "Bold", on ABC records, (ABCS-705)

After Bold broke up, Bob La Palm then joined Connecticut's premier band, The Wildweeds (featuring Al Anderson of NRBQ fame) for a short time towards the end of that band's career, and he is known to have played on at least one recording session with them, as well as numerous gigs.

Then Bob La Palm and Timothy Griffin, went on to found a band called Clean Living with Norman Schell.

Tim Griffin also played drums in James Taylor's road band very briefly. Steve Walker moved to Lake Tahoe where he played bass in a band called Amazing Grace after which he formed the Steve Walker Band and has played on the Tahoe Queen for last 26 years or so.

Moon
The Bold Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blue Moon, You saw me standing alone
Whitout a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Той вечір у пабі на розі, пригадую досі
Всі червоні, а я у кольорі росі
Як перчик чілі видав
- Сіті до перемоги!

Ооох як же писки швидко надулись
Купка придурків малого пресують
Програли ваші трухляві кумири
Містяни мене породили
Не здавайся!
Будь собі вірним!
Хоча саме тоді...
У той вечір
Вони відверто глумились
Та я не пустив і сльози!
Blue Moon мене захистив
Співпало чи ні
Та Між нами... Рівно сто років різниця
Це знак? Чи юнак помилився?
Хлопчині вісім... Він вірить
Що вплинув на них
Що він виграв
Що це сам він...
ВИГРАВ
У ТОМУ САМОМУ ДЕРБІ

Манчестер Сіті, ти бачив
Як я стою наодинці
Без мрії в серці
Без жодної краплі любові

Блакитний Місяць,
Ти точно знав
Для чого я там
Ви чули, як я молюсь за тих
Про кого попіклувався

Перші роки нам перло
Часу було тільки на дербі
А з сезону дві тисячі десять
Завжди з Манчіні був та Пелегріні
Перед Гвардіолою схиляю голову
Окреме Дякую, Зінченку
Вони точно варті вашої уваги
Тож закарбуйте!
Ці прізвища!
Вокер, Діаш, Фоден, Гріліш
Ортега, Палмер, Сілва, Філліпс
Аке, Аканджі, Альварес, Марез
Едерсон, Гомес, Перроне, Де Брюйне
Лапорт, Гюндоган, Голанн, Карсон
Стоунз, Льюїс, Родріго.
Без сумнівів!
Гоу везіть нам його!
Цей Кубок! Ліги! Чемпіонів!

Манчестер Сіті, ти бачив
Як я стою наодинці
Без мрії в серці
Без жодної краплі любові

Блакитний Місяць,
Ти точно знав
Для чого я там
Ви чули, як я молюсь за тих
Про кого попіклувався

Манчестер Сіті, ти бачив
Як я стою наодинці
Без мрії в серці
Без жодної краплі любові

Блакитний Місяць,
Ти точно знав
Для чого я там

Ви чули, як я молюсь за тих
Про кого попіклувався

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Bold's song "Moon" are a mix of English and Ukrainian. The song revolves around themes of solitude, dreams, and love. The opening lines, "Blue Moon, You saw me standing alone, Without a dream in my heart, Without a love of my own," set the tone for the song. It speaks about feeling alone and without any dreams or love.

The Ukrainian verses then add another layer to the song. It reminisces about a particular evening at a pub, where the singer recalls being surrounded by people who were passionate about their football team. Despite being different and not fitting in, the singer remains resilient, encouraging themselves to stay true to who they are. The blue moon becomes a symbol of protection and the connection between the singer and the events unfolding.

The song then switches back to English, emphasizing the importance of certain players and their impact on the team. It mentions several names, highlighting their individual contributions and urging the listeners to remember and treasure them. The chorus repeats the idea of standing alone without dreams or love and how the blue moon understands the purpose of their presence and the care the singer has for those they have taken care of.

Overall, "Moon" is a contemplative song about feeling isolated and disconnected, but through the blue moon, finding solace and a sense of purpose in caring for others.

Line by Line Meaning

Blue Moon, You saw me standing alone
In that evening at the corner pub, I still remember. Everyone was red, and I stood out like a rosy peach. Like a jalapeno pepper revealed - City to victory! Oh, how quickly those arrogant guys got deflated. A bunch of fools pressing on the little guy. Your rotten idols lost. The city bred me. Don't give up! Stay true to yourself! Even then... In that evening they openly mocked, but I didn't let the tears flow! Blue Moon protected me. Whether it was a coincidence or not. But between us... Exactly one hundred years apart. Is this a sign? Or did the youngster make a mistake? The boy, only eight... He believes that he influenced them. That he won. That it was all him... He WON. In THAT SAME DERBY.

You saw me standing alone
Manchester City, you saw how I stood alone without a dream in my heart, without any trace of love.

Blue Moon, You knew just what I was there for
Blue Moon, you definitely knew why I was there. You heard me praying for those I cared for.

You heard me saying a prayer for
Manchester City, you heard how I prayed for those I looked after.

Someone I really could care for
Manchester City, you heard me saying a prayer for someone who I truly cared for.

Manchester City, you saw me standing alone
Manchester City, you saw how I stood alone without a dream in my heart, without any trace of love.

Without a dream in my heart
Manchester City, you saw how I stood alone without any dream or ambition in my heart.

Without a love of my own
Manchester City, you saw how I stood alone without any love or companionship in my life.
