My favorite band of all time. Never seen them in concert.

Had tickets for Pittsburgh PA earlier this year but my wife was at deaths door from a illness so sold them.

Oh well.

Bummer. Took me a long time to see them. But I finally splurged for floor seats like 15 years ago. Sat right next to this weird platform in about row 25. Then Ace flies out to the platform on a cable and does “Rock and Roll All Night” solo as we stared up at his boots and got mobbed by folks behind us. Got to feel the heat from the flames as well. Great time!

In late ‘76 or was it early ‘77, I was doing sound for a band who ended up in Lakeland, Fla. As we passed the Civic Center we saw the band bus parked out front so we pulled in to see what we could see. We met the band costume free. It turned out that Tommy Bolin from their opening act, the James Gang had od’d the night before in Miami. They were complaining that now they would have to play the whole show solo for the same contracted $10,000. I never saw $10K at the same time in my life until this decade! LOL
