I saw Bowie once, at the first rock concert held in the Tacoma dome back in 83. He was GREAT!
So was my date, who I lost track of, she was just as great...

Still, I wonder how “War, What is it Good For?” would have fared if not for the book by Tolstoy?

Don Ho: Live At Honolulu was very underappreciated.

Vivarium Iggy! I saw the Stooges in 1968. Insane. Never dreamed they’d become iconic.

The albums that last are often not popular in the initial spurt. Think of any of the great classic still played today albums. Then look up the Billboard Chart for their year. It won’t be the #1 album, probably won’t even be top 10. Usually that top is a bunch of stuff you won’t remember even if you were there.

I think even Dark Side of the Moon got off to slow start in the US.

It did hit #1 for 1 week almost 2 months after it came out. Then lost out to Elvis’ Aloha From Hawaii. World is a Ghetto by War is actually the #1 album of 1973, which honestly is better than most years’ #1. But still trash when you remember that’s the year of Dark Side, Houses of the Holy, Quadrophenia and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

One of my regrets in life is not carving out the time to go see Bowie live. I’ve been a huge fan of his music since I saw him on the Bing Crosby Christmas special when I was a kid! One of the few blasts from my past that I still listen to on a regular basis.

I liked Bowie more after his gender-bending phase.
I would have loved to have seen the Station To Station tour.
