Saw him live for the Full Moon Album Tour back in 80 or 81 at Market Square arena in Indy. Still the most pot I've ever seen at a indoor concert. Passing joints up and down rows, was a lot of fun. I was a high school freshman or sophomore. Loved his music back then. Hated what he turned into later. He became opposite of what he sung about. He just became the old man yelling get off my lawn.
