I was more of a Jerry Jeff, Linda Ronstadt, Commander Cody, Pointer Sisters, Jackson Browne, Emy Lou Harris, Charlie Daniels, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lynard Skynard, Allman Brothers, Doug Kershaw kind of guy.
BTW, before you guys pick on Linda, I know what she looks like now, but to a nineteen year old kid standing right under the front of the stage at Armadillo World Headquarters, well, you just had to be there:
BTW, no I didn't take these photos. They're from other concerts done about the same time. However, when THAT girl looked directly down at me, with THESE EYES
and sang,
"And if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees,
And ask you to come back, I'll be begging you to come back,
Pleading for you to come back to me.
I nearly died. She grinned as she looked at other concert goers. Another victim of those eyes. She knocked me down and layed me out with just a look.
hey, hey, hey.... we were at a wedding, at a ranch that involved firearms, alcohol, rabbits, trucks, javalinas, cactus spines, and hungry ranch dogs.....
all while dressed in portions of the afformentioned "powder blue" tuxedoes that were popular back then..... at 2 in the morning....
by then nobody could operate a camera at the time but I'm sure the photos woulda been GREAT!!!...Jerry Jeff Walker in the Background...maybe a little ZZ Top "Mexican Blackbird"...or George Strait
a buddy of mine fell UNDER the stage and it took him 30 minutes to find his way back out..... By then we'd all found some snuff queens that were 6 pack "gorgeous" and the night lives in infamy as a 300 mile roadtrip to this day that started our post graduate studies....
Speed limit 75, drinking age 18 and we were all bullet proof...hahaahahahahaha
