Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites

Hey Sean,
Thanks for the info, I never knew that about Marc Bell. I remember he was kind of a studio player on a few now obscure rock lps I had. I liked the 2nd record (Hard Attack) alot more. The original issue had a killer reproduction of one of Frazetta's best paintings on the cover. The cd I have on Repertoire sounds like a hack job on the digital transfer. Do you know what ever happened to Richie Wise (their #@%*** crazy guitar player)? Were you ever into Sir Lord Baltimore? Their 1st is one of the best head whompin' early 70's power trio records ever made. The 1st Patto kicks some serious ass too.

Sean I knew that about Marc after Bruce of the Record Stop told me about him about 18 years ago, have one of their LPs. Saw Dust in a free WNEW-FM concert in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, they opened for Flash (made up of the orginal members, guitarist and keyboardist of Yes) way back in 1971/72. (See my concert list post for dates)

I really like the band 'Kansas' and bought everything they ever made after hearing the album' Leftoverture'. Absolutely awesome musicians and songwriters. I recently picked up a two CD set which is very nice....can't remember the name now cause I lended it to a friend :(
Also liked 'Blue Oyster Cult' at the time and recently picked up a CD copy of Agents of Fortune (still have the LP).
Led Zeppelin was always and still is a favorite. I saw them at the Fillmore West in Frisco on their first American tour (1969) when they were second billing to Country Joe and the Fish, believe or not and later again in 1973 at Kezar Stadium in San Fran with Lee Michaels. That concert at the Fillmore, btw cost $3.00. That included 3 bands, 2 1hr sets each. Started at 8PM and got out at 2AM. Those were the days! Also saw Jeff Beck Group there when Rod Stewart was the lead vocalist, and also Deep Purple on their first American tour. Woo hoo!

all the above plus Can, Man, Lord Sutch, Fat Mattress, Fairport, Rick Wakeman, ELP, SRC, Amboy Dukes, JoJo Gunne, mc5, manfred mann, free, grin, mountain, ten years after, james gang, moody blues, alex harvey band, spooky tooth, frijid pink, traffic, trower, uriah heep, johnny winter, band, big star, deep purple, delany/bonnie, rick derringer, foghat, savoy brown, jgeils, grand funk, everything I could get my hands on in that cut-out bin at Murphy's or Woolworth's....a somewhat embarrassing list I must admit today....
