Of my many musical regrets, not catching Roy Buchanan live is a pretty big one. I only recall going to the Spectrum once. It was 1974 and my cousin and I went to see the Grateful Dead. They were the only act and the show started at 9 PM. We got there right at 9 and left around 1:45 AM and they were still playing. Not really my sort of Dead which was the “Live Dead” double record era from 1968 which is where I first saw them in San Diego. I never remember the cost of tickets being much more than a six pack of decent beer.

I never was a Dead Head too. Back in them days I was into rock/blues guitar. I saw Foghat three different times. Those boys just came on stage,plugged in and rocked the joint. Same as Johnny Winter,Rick Derringer,Edgar Winter,and Ronnie Montrose did. I did catch Loggins and Messina at a small venue in Charleston,SC in 1975. Great stuff.
