Music Appreciation
In reply to the discussion: Favorite concert/concert memory [View all]Guppy
(444 posts)I saw the Who before Tommy. I saw the Allman's back up Delaney and Bonnie and Chicago then I saw the two concerts mentioned. I also saw the Dead many times including the famous Red Rock's show when they did Werewolves of London(7/8/78) considered in the top 5 dead shows).
I went to Woodstock and I saw the first time Hot Tuna played electric in NYC.
I saw the original Jefferson Airplane. You name then and I probably saw them
I even saw Cream's farewell tour and Led zep's second tour of the U.S.
I also saw the Stones with Stevie Wonder as the opening act. My biggest regret was that I passed up Hendrix at the Fillmore East because it was snowing.
I feel that there were three legendary bands in concert.
The Who, the dead and the Allmans.
I still go to concerts. I saw the Who's 50th anniversary tour. I saw them for the first time 46 years ago at the Fillmore in 1969 whic meant I only missed seeing them their entire careers by 4 years. ( they didn't tour for a couple of years while they worked on Tommy)
I also recently saw Suzanne Vega and Hot Tuna.
