Re: Now: concert nostalgia and name-dropping

[paulrichard10@adelphia.net]

I once saw the Quicksilver Messenger Service perform in a lecture hall at 
the University of Pittsburgh. That was in their serious jamming days. I 
sat about two 'desks' back from the band and they were HOT!

Also saw Genesis (w/Gabriel) a LONG time ago in a venue that doubled as an 
ice  skating rink! Towards the end of the concert, the ice 'covering' was 
soaked through. 

Or, who can forget the double bill of the Iron Butterfly/Canned Heat where 
the  concert was temporarily halted by the police because the word 'fuck' 
was used onstage?
