It Was Twenty Years Ago Today!

Actually, it's more like fifty years ago.  There have been any number of recent threads where people relate how they saw so and so back in 1972 at such and such a place.  Examples would be the Allman Brothers opening for the Grateful Dead at the Fillmore East, the James Gang opening for Led Zep on their first American tour, the Airplane, QMS and Big Brother at the Aragon, etc etc.

My question is -- HOW DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER THIS STUFF?

Don't get me wrong, I remember any number of concerts from the late 60s onwards, but I suspect I've mis-remembered or outright forgotten probably just as many.  I just couldn't tell you how many times or exactly where or when I've seen McCoy Tyner, Hall & Oates, The Blasters, The Feelies, Steel Pulse, Marshall Crenshaw, Parliament/Funkadelic, Buddy Guy/Jr. Wells, Roomful Of Blues, etc.  Somethings are just a little blurry.

Did you write this stuff down in diary?

I remember because Jimmy Paige looked me right in the eye during their 1977 The Song Remains the Same tour.  Second row, Capital Center, Landover, MD.

Same goes for Pink Floyd crashing their plane behind the stage at their Dark Side of the Moon concert in 1975.

Hello @larsman ​​​​@onhwy61 !  So this 1975 Pink Floyd Concert kept rattling around in my head.  I keep remembering the plane crashing at the end of Dark Side of the Moon behind the stage.  It came from all the way across the arena up high!  Check out this set list:
