Saw them in Amarillo early 70’s, with Doobie Brothers opening for Rare Earth, when both were up and coming. DB and SD were so good, we didn’t stay for Rare Earth! Back when I was dating my first wife (of five).
First time for me was at the gymnasium at UC Irvine - Can’t Buy a Thrill tour- pretty great but the really hit their stride later.
LOL.
