Saw him many times and never got that feeling. Maybe he needs to be seen in Texas.
Iâm told that smoking pot makes you paranoid âŚ

I saw The Who at the skating rink in Central Park for $1.

::::blink, blink:::: Whoa.
On the other hand, another Texan, Nanci Griffith, travelled very well.
My recollection is she has links with a charity in this part of the world. And, in her introduction, she mentioned where sheâd had dinner the previous night - one of favourite places at the time.

There was a concert there every Wednesday night. Mostly we sat on the grass outside and listened. We sprang for the buck for The Who.

Not me, but the back end of an LSD trip, yes. I havenât done that stuff in over 30 years and if I did it today my head would implode.

Oh my you lucky girl!! Never saw them.
Another few I remembered: Pink Floyd, Dan Fogleberg, Jean Luc Ponty, Emmy Lou Harris, Dolly Parton.
Now just getting to a concert seems like a major effortâŚ

Emmy Lou Harris
Someone I went out with when I was young was in Emmylouâs hot band, so I saw her and met her.

Did you like her? How special! Just saw a picture of her yesterday - beautiful woman with fabulous gray hair. I loved her music and enjoyed her performance a lot. Youâre lucky to have met her.
Did you ever hear or read about that strange story of Gram Parsonâs death, and her love of him? Itâs quite the tale, I assure you.
Just rewatched a documentary about the Trio women - Emmylou, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt. Includes early footage of them singing. Simply stunning.

Can I just say Iâve been SO enjoying the reminiscings of HOers and the concerts theyâve seen? While itâs not C19-related, itâs definitely nostalgic good news, IMO.
Iâve saved all of my concert and Broadway play tickets over the years (back when you got REAL tickets vs. an Email printout, although I have those as well), so itâs fun to go back and look and see who Iâve seen and how often. Iâm going to have to drag them out tonight when I get home from work and smile with a glass of wine.

@Harters, thank you for bringing that up. My gray matter just gave me the fact that Linda Rondstadt and the Stone Ponys opened for the Beatles. And I only just remembered about 5 minutes before your post!! She certainly had a set of amazing pipes, didnât she? As you probably know, she doesnât perform or sing now due to Parkinsonâs. Sad. Yes, the trio had synergy going, in spades.

Back in the day, four of us bought $3 tickets at âshowtimeâ to see ZZ Top open for Humble Pie. Our tickets wound up being in the Orchestra Pit at Ford Auditorium in Detroit.
ZZ Top did about a 45 minute set, and the audience roared thru it. Wanted much more. I think Humble Pie fired the boys from Texas after that gig.

Yep. She was interviewed for the documentary and she looked quite unwell. So sad and such a contrast with the super vibrant, super attractive young woman.

I saw ZZ Top in Houston and couldnât believe three people could put out such great music.

I loved her. And she let my then BF do a solo for me. I love her voice. I donât know that story though

Itâs all over the internet, some of the articles in depth. Donât want to ruin the story if you have any interest in it. Look under the Ballad of Gram Parsons, or similar.
How sweet and special that your then romantic interest did a solo for you!
Grateful Dead at The Summit in Houston who knows when with brother, SIL, and best friend. Weâre in the lower bowl and best friend is scanning the floor with binoculars when he came across a guy with his complete package hanging out.
SIL immediately pens the name âMr. Dickâ on him. It stuck for years.
