Early 70s, Oh what a great time to be a kid! My first concert was THE WHO "Who's Next", they did some "Quad" too.
JETHRO TULL "Aqualung" with some "Thick as a Brick" thrown in. In a small venue ALICE COOPER "Killer" playing with snakes and gettin his head cut off! FRANK ZAPPA in a little hall with all those horns doing "Grand Wazoo", simply amazing! Hey Zane,Zane,Zane, do ya like BOWIE?, cant remember the year, maybe 73?, What a stage show! YES "Close to the Edge" with Rick Wakeman. ELP "Trilogy"(wish I had seen King Crimson before Greg Lake left). Again at a small concert hall, EDGER WINTER "They Only Come Out at Night" backed up by an unknown (to me) ROXY MUSIC thier first album, the name escapes me, with Bryan Eno wearing some kind of chicken suit! Anyone remember THE STRAWBS? "Hero and Heroine" backing up a lame Argent.I went for the Stawbs, a great forgotten band. Early work has wonderful lyrics by David Cummings.
OK I cant count, but Im sure I missed some. And I have seen many concerts including SRV, Floyd, Talking Heads, Bela Fleck, lots of Blues, Bluegrass, ect.
But nothing will ever match the thrill of being a teenager and seeing those "super groups" at thier peak in the 70s!
Im juiced just thinking about it!!
