The ARMS Charity concert to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy research in honor of Ronnie Lane. This was held in Los Angeles in 1983 and featured an incredible roster of British Rock royalty. Imagine seeing Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page performing together onstage. Other performers included Steve Winwood, Joe Cocker, Paul Rodgers, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts, and Kenny Jones. This was hands down my most memorable concert.
What is your most fond musical memory.
One that makes you yearn for the ‘good old days.’
Mine took place in 1970. My grandparents were going on a world tour and I had their whole house to myself for 2 months. Alone at last!. I was 16. First thing I did was set up my audio system. Then I turned down the lights and put on the just released Grand Funk “Closer to Home’ album. I thought I was in heaven when ‘I’m your Captain’ came on. 10 minutes of Pure Bliss. To this day I get the tingles whenever I play that song.
