Two bands stand out as "I wish I'd have seen 'ems" : The Who and The Moody Blues. Sadly I'll never have the chance to see either of 'em again sad smiley

I had tickets to see the Who waaaay back in '76 and wound up smackin into a concrete retainer wall at about 60mph one morning the week prior to the concert & had to bid my friends a good time at the show from my hospital bed. Fallin asleep at the wheel is NOT something I recommend !

From friends who saw The Moody Blues all I heard was "I couldn't believe all that music came out of those guys!".

Best concert I ever saw was Yes in '76 (after I healed up) when Rick Wakeman had just returned to the band. Though I had feared they wouldn't be able to create live what they did on their albums I was happily wrong as they were BETTER !!

Best party/concert was ZZ Tops Bar B Q and Barn Dance in Austin, Tx. in '74 : ZZ Top, Peter Frampton, Bad Company, Santana and several warm up bands. That was a WILD place ! Some truly enterprising individuals made good use of the fact that the cops stayed under the stands and never entered the show grounds (which was the footbal stadium at UT) and set up a makeshift booth where they could be heard all day peddling their wares as they shouted "Acid .... Mescaline .... get it right here !" eye popping smiley

Ah yeah, the 70s, what times were had !!!!!
