Edgar's in the Student Union


Feb 19, 2020, 8:09 PM

Used to go to Edgar's in the early 80's. Does anyone remember a band called "#### Child's Guitar Army"? They played the best Lynyrd Skynyrd. Free Bird was my favorite.

Yep - I think I still have one of their t-shirts in a box

in the attic. They were very good.

Butch and the Buckheads was another great band that came to Edgars.

Gonna fast forward a decade to a Clemson local band named “Grass Cactus.”

I had a DCGA tee shirt, one of my fraternity brothers played base guitar in the band. Also remember the big Ed draft. We use to go before our intramural softball games to have a couple to get warmed up. Of course we did not win many games

Re: I remember those big cups of beer

The big cups were used because they could not serve pitchers. They were called "Big Ed's". The best band to play there were the Killer Whales.

Mostly do remember Edgars and the Guitar Army. The base player was probably Rusty. He and #### were friends back in the day and the best Halloween party I ever attended was at their place out on 88. Before the band was organized, I jammed with them too.
Talk about good times. Would drop in and have a couple of wine coolers before class. Beer carried too much of a scent.. or so we thought. Low buzz during class... good times indeed.

PBR at Edgars. If that doesn't bring back some memories


Feb 20, 2020, 8:58 AM

you might not be a Clemson Grad. My roommate Dan was in a band that played there 2002, 2003, and 2004 ish. Something about that old part of campus is just so nostalgic

My dad admonished me to not join The Student Union... He must have thought it was like The Teamsters and we were going on strike and demand to be paid for going to class... I did not try to explain, just told him i would be "a good boy"...

I forgot I posted this last night. I could go for some DCGA and a Big Ed right about now. Loved to go bowl a few games then head to Edgar's.
Thanks for the memories.

I was in Edgar's watching MNF when the news broke that John Lennon had been shot. Some good, not-so-good, and...eh, "cloudy" memories of that place.

I remember going down to Edgar’s in 1983 to watch the television broadcast of “Living Proof - The Hank Williams Jr. Story” starring Richard “John Boy Walton” Thomas as Hank Jr. Edgar’s had a lens contraption that clamped onto the front of a cathode ray tube television and “projected” the picture onto a bedsheet they hung from the ceiling. Early ancestor of today’s projection televisions. Wasn’t exactly hi-def, but you could make out the picture if it was dark enough. Good times.
