Oops, just remembered two more:
Saw some guy sing outdoors on the quad at Wheaton College on a sunny afternoon in 1968, had no idea who the hell he was :huh: - there were like 300 coeds and me and one other guy there in the audience sitting on the grass. He just played by himself on a small platform with an accoustic guitar and only had one small Fender amp. Found out he had just released his first album on Apple Records titled "Sweet Baby James." Needless to say, me and the other guy pretty much went largely unnoticed by the 300 panting coeds. :doh: Saw all the Taylors, Kate, Livingston, Alex et al. minus James at a wedding my wife and I went to on the Vineyard in the mid-Eighties - they sang backup to Carly Simon, who sang the Everly Brothers' "Devoted to You" to the newlyweds at their reception. That really was pretty special - Carly even brushed right against me as she departed the stage and I smiled at her - and again, I went largely unnoticed. :doh: Hey, wait a minute - what the hell, what am I, Claude Raines? Awww, it's probably just as well - Mrs. Crafty woulda been pissed if Carly started hittin' on me. :laughs: |

VB,
I used to catch the Fools at the cove quite a bit out in Worcester years ago... My favorite concert was J.Geils at the Boston Garden during the Love Stinks Tour... The energy was unbelievable for a Boston Garden concert event, and Peter Wolf went long into the night as the band stayed for hours... Best show I have ever seen for the money, and the band was pumped up through the entire event... It's always a blast catching local bands at concert events! I saw Boston during a long run they were doing at the Centrum, (13 concerts there or something like that?...)and it was similar to seeing J.Geils at the garden... for Boston to do so many nights and carry the intensity as they did was well worth the cost of the tickets... |
