Yes, this is a vanity, because in these times we all need a break, and thats why I come here sometimes. So...who do you choose?
I agree with that
The stereo benefit slash aqualung tour show I saw in I think 71 was unequalled sound wise and band tightness
He did some forecasting of Brick too
Another gem post
I have never heard of Gypsy or Crow.
Except as characters on the TV show MST3000. Minneapolis based!
I saw Depeche Mode and Part of INXS at the China Club on upper broadway when I lived in Manhattan ...1984 ..or 85 maybe ....I lived nearby then and knew the owners
We were at a table with Cher and Matt Dillon and MTV Julie Brown and Mark Goodman....both very nice people btw....I’d hit Brown...hotter in person....and David Bowie.....and maybe Adrian Belew.....cause we knew the owners
My best friend was a very pretty man and women loved him...Cher was aqualunging him
When depeche started Route 66. Both Hutchence and Bowie were on stage to join in
It was amazing....everyone dancing on tables floor everywhere ...In a club maybe 2500 sq ft
My buddy said Cher had body odor when he got home the next afternoon
I loved Emerson Lake and Palmer as a teen but too young for concerts. So it was great to see them live in 1992(?) on their Black Moon tour.
They were playing this very small auditorium in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I didn’t have tickets and they were sold out, but I went there just in case they had tickets at the door or whatever. Nope, but I was able to buy one off a group of people when one of their friends didn’t show up.
It was the size of a High School auditorium - maybe seated 250 people. ELP had their full set-up. They started about 15 minutes late, no big deal. About 5 notes in the circuits blew! Turns out they had blown several city blocks! This happened two more times and they finally started about an hour and a half late.
But what a show! I feared that they might be too old - but they were right on it! Never hearing them live before I was amazed at how some of their more chaotic songs were replicated. I’m not sure I even knew at that time that Rondo was played with Emerson jabbing knives in between the keys and moving the organ around to get the sound.
Short, Rondo, Live:

I saw the Grateful Dead In the very late 70’s twice, but never really realized their genius until the advent of YT years later.
Even before that. But I won’t tell you the story.
What I CAN tell you is that they are/were very soothing.
I’d go back in time to see SRV as long as I could take my baby with me.
Pre 1973 Zep gave concerts, 73-80 they were shows
ABBA!
The old Tina. Before “What’s Love”.
Monterey was June 67 - maybe you were in basic or ati?
Janis was straight, Very straight.
I saw them in Tuscaloosa doing Aqualung then saw them again (same place) in what I think was the first live performance of Thick as a Brick. Clearest sound and mostbpolished performers I’ve ever seen.
Me too!
“Come to Me” by Frida makes me want to run away with her:

I used to listen to waterlooradio.net but it was pulled. All ABBA, 24/7.
Loved “The Benny Goodman Story”.
Maybe it was Donna Reed I loved. :)
Same age. Hughes Aircraft sent me to Rome, NY in 1980, for a few weeks. I was a technician working a project at Griffiss. My wife came towards the end of my stay and we toured upstate NY, had a great time.
I watched that a couple weeks ago. A documentary on youtube.
Sorry to hear that. I know your pain.
Yeah, I love youtube for the music.
I hear the sound of a Hammond organ. I’m just getting into them. I fixed my Mom’s over Christmas. She’s 93 and having fun with it again.
Was that WPB Stones concert at the Auditorium (The Leakee TeePee)? Or out at the motor speedway (then called Moroso)?
