Annuder thing. I saw the Stones in 1970 and Led Zeppelin too. They both flailed around a lot, the lead singers surely made their presence known, but ultimately they were boring after the first 20 minutes. The sound was just too thin. Saw Traffic (no Dave Mason) and Cream around then and liked them better. Steve Winwood looked stoned to the gills, I always figured on a psychedelic but who knows.
Stones at Boston Garden, Zep at much smaller venue.
Winwood is my neighbor.
I'll have to ask him.
You're a few years old that I am ....unbelivably I've
never seen the Stones. The first time I had the opporunity to do so was in 1978 at the L.A. Coliseum, and I refused to see them in a huge outdoor arena with "festival" seating (where every seat is a bad one) just on principle. I figured I'd wait for them to play a smaller venue ....but it just never happened.
Saw Dave Mason at the Universal Amp, and it was terrific.
Damn, you're lucky to have seen Cream. ...I'm envious.
The Zep show I saw in '77 was had its good and bad points. The bad: just too damn loud, and some of the songs were way too long (30 min+). The good: the songs, and the musicianship.
