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.

sfar, I was at that Little Feat/Ronstadt show.  She played with accompaniment by Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, who were still hanging around town after their weekend shows.  Extremely thrown together and off the cuff.  Very good and very special.  Other favorite Armadillo WHQ memories include seeing the first Mahavishnu Orchestra and the Zappa band with Jean-Luc Ponty and George Duke a month apart in the spring of '73.  Great stuff!
