I saw the Temptations at Kleinhans and Ray Charles (with Billy Preston) at Melody Fair.
Thoroughly loved both. It was while I was going to grad school at UB. Lived on in-law’ farm in Niagara Co.
I just remembered a few more:
The Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for Eric Clapton at the Buffalo Aud.
Santana at Darien Lake Amusement Park(Now Six Flags)
Bonnie Raitt at Holman Stadium in Nashua, NH
Steve Winwood @ Holman Stadium in Nashua, NH
Bob Dylan @ Holman Stadium in Nashua, NH
Jorma Kaukonen at a bar in Buffalo
