Your First Concert was.....

My first concert was Arlo Guthrie at the Shaffer (sic) Music Festival in Central Park, NYC. It cost 2 bucks and it was for his "Running Down the Road" album.

Unfortunately, they would shortly break up [screwed by their record company and managers]. Later Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan [Flo & Eddie] played with the late & great Frank Zappa & the Mothers. I also saw them again as Flo & Eddie, the opening act for Alice Cooper's "Billion Dollar Baby Tour" at Pirate's World in Miami, in April 1973. What great performers, impressionists, and satirists...they had the crowd in laughing hysterically with their ad-lib in "Nikki Hoy" Both venues are long since gone!

However, I have come to really appreciate Karen's voice, and Richard's arrangements were simply brilliant. Maturity adds to one's wisdom, I guess! Check out the Carpenters " CHRISTMAS PORTRAIT"...you'll see what I mean about his arrangements.
