Before They Were Famous


What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.

As an undergrad, I attended music school with two mezzos that are now of some import. Stephanie Blythe, now at the Met, and Margret Lattimore, also a rising opera world person. Renee Flemming, soprano, is an alum, and before she was really famous visited to sing at the school.
