I remember those days as well - and was in high school in the 60s.
Allens Landing, Love Street Light Circus, Texas Opry House, The Catacombs, all of that.
I listened to Country as a primary staple of my music, but ZZ Top (in the 70s), Johnny and Edgar Winter (also 70s), Gatemouth Brown, Rocky Hill and others always caught my attention.
Those were the days.
Ah johnny Winter. Underrated guitarist with his own unique style. Had the balls to insist he sit in with B B King when he was young. His chicago recording with kooper and bloomfield was awesome. Yes — those were good days in rock with a lot of original talent
Saw ZZ Top Texas Tour. Blue Oyster Cult, and Johnny and Edger Winter opening at the bit A in Anahiem.
It was a great time despite their cheesy western set complete with buzzards and long horn cattle that were raised on scissor lifts.
