Back in the late 60s – early 70s you got to see all sorts of different types of music on the same bill. I once saw the Bonzo Dog Band open for The Who, another time I saw Mary Wells ("My Guy") open for Yes and yet another time a band led by Johnny Barbata (former drummer with The Turtles) opened for Buddy Rich. (Barbata even played a drum solo during his set — exceedingly brave of him considering who was following him on stage.) And festivals were a real free-for-all in billing. Once in Palm Springs I saw Canned Heat, Buddy Miles, Savoy Brown and The Ike and Tina Turner Review all on the same night. (Savoy Brown kicked *** over everyone else that night, although Ike and Tina gave them a run for their money.) The previous night featured Lee Michaels, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Procol Harum (when Robin Trower was still with them). The first time I saw Hendrix the opening bands were Eire Apparent, Soft Machine and Vanilla Fudge. The next time the openers were a new outfit called CTA (Chicago Transit Authority, later simply Chicago). As the saying goes, I may be old, but I got to see all the cool bands... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my mind set could definitely be considered altered, but it didn't get that way from chemicals. (That's why I can still remember all those concerts.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to comment on this yesterday. You are absolutely right, they did seem to be out of place with the rest of the lineup, but nonetheless, they seemed to have a great time, as did the audience. During one of their songs, Keith Emerson and his massive piano setup were literally lifted off the stage, and were then twirled head over heels while continuously playing the tune. Craziest thing I ever saw....well, until I got to the Philippines some years later. Can't comment on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBCODD Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I saw these guys (ELP) in Madison Square Garden and at Roosevelt Field back inna 70's. Awesome shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I got ya'll beat...least for today. I got my first baby niece. And I couldn't be more excited. Audio gear pales in comparison to this excitement. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
