First concert I attended, everyone sitting on the floor in the gym at WSU in Pullman WA where loaves of bread, bottles of wine and joints were freely passed around. Warm up was a one man band, Duster Bennett, very fun performance, then John Mayall and his superb band.
Tommy Bolin, around 1974, terrible venue when it could of been in the really great opera house in Spokane WA, amazing performance from all members, warned up for Rush. Most were not paying much attention to TB but went nuts when Rush came on stage and quite frankly, they sucked, I had to leave. I really did not get it how little the audience understood the talent of TB and his band.
I was standing in line to buy tickets to see Jimi Hendrix when someone came out to tell us he had died, that was a sad, sad day.
