The Blue Board

i saw the moody blues fall 1983...stevie ray vaughn opened for them...saw them a year later...great show.

All of the above. Blind Faith was amazing - first super group ever, I was sitting right under Clapton...longest fingers I've ever seen, and lightening fast! In those days, the shows were more like long jam sessions, often big name guest musicians would drop in. Vanilla Fudge opened for someone, can't remember who...

Traffic, I saw in Santa Monica in the early 70s. Love Stevie Winwood, first concert I took my oldest to was his "Back in the High Life" tour.

Those were great times.

How can I forget Stevie Ray Vaughn? Santa Barbara Bowl..I year before he died in that plane crash. Kick butt concert..I cried when he died.

Luciano Pavarotti, had the chance in SF.

Dude I don't have any class and its just the internet

So you are proud of that?
Or let me ask it a different way
Would your mother be proud of you?
And I understand it is just the internet
But that is a cop out IMO
This, conglomeration of different fan bases is also a community
It is and you have to ask yourself what kind of community you want
So you can keep up your Dennis the Menace act, no skin off my ass
I guess a few folks find it amusing
But most don't and I kniw quite a few people that would post here, or post more often, but dont because it is just non stop crassness, a lot if it coming from you
I am about as crude as a person can be, so I am not lecturing you
NOTHING shocks me or repels me
Trust me on that
But it becomes monotonous and it defines you
If that is your goal, or your aim, then cool, you have achieved it
Pretty low ceiling though, my young brother
But it doesn't have to be like that
You spend seemingly every waking hour here
No one can question your commitment
Or your love of the thing that brings us all here, College Football
So you keep on being you, whatever that is
But up to now, you are just a pest with a LOT of posts
Almost 25,000 and very few of them memorable for anything but foolishness
And it doesn't need to be like that

I used to know some of the people in It's a Beautiful Day
Patti Santos was so beautiful
I joked with her one time that before I got to know her, I thought she was from Peru
She laughed and said 'Only my nose is from Peru'
She was a beatuful person inside and out
Incredible legs and always wore dresses or skirts when she performed
The leader David La Flamme was a brilliant musician but I thought he was weird at the time but looking back it was probably me
He was one of the few San Francisco musicians who didnt get high
I am talking late 60's and early 70's
Bob Weir was another one
I knew him from Kingfish, not the Grateful Dead

I don't think I ever saw King Crimson
I literally saw hundreds if concerts between 68 and 80
So I may niot remember every one, especially if they were opening acts
But I did get to see Robert Fripp once
It was around 1980 and they had a kind of Monterey Pop Redux at the same fairgrounds
I was there to see The Mighty Diamonds and Peter Tosh and The Clash but he played too and it was brilliant
Just him and his Guitar. He played through a tape delay so he would build sounds and riff with himself
The word genius is overused, but not in his case

First Mastodon
Best tie between Pixies and Tool

First concert 1990 Moody blues with my parents and Caesar's Lake Tahoe. 13 years ago. Best concert is probably at a small venue since I have always liked smaller shows than larger ones. I probably over estimate the more recent shows since they are clearer in my mind but avett brothers in Columbus is my favorite right now. Also up there would be Pete Yorn around 2002 at the 1,000 capacity basement in Columbus and barenaked ladies in 1998 in Cincinnati's Taft theater but that was as much about the experience due to buying the back two rows of the small Taft theater before bml got sucky.

Also - bush, no doubt go go dolls in 1995 in Dayton before many people knew about no doubt.

Also weeZer and green day at Newport in Columbus before many had heard of either often. Now I can't stand any of their new music.

Thanks for the warning, brah.
