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.

I saw Tom Petty when his band was called Mudcrutch playing frat parties at the University of Florida. As a Jacksonville native saw all the local bands--Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 special, etc. before they got big. A friend of mine used to mow lawns for the local promoter who was so cheap he often paid him with free tickets instead of cash.Saw lots of bands but the original Allman Brothers were far and away the best. Regarding Jacksonville bands,I refuse to go see Limp Biskit, however. A man's got to have standards.
