(9,268 posts)Grateful Dead, Mothers Day 1973, the first Iowa Jam. They mixed on stage and about all you could clearly hear were the drums and bass. Everything else was muddy. We walked out.
I saw Jerry Jeff Walker twice. The first time he was the headliner. It was amazing. Hill Country Rain made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. The second time he opened for Willie Nelson and was so drunk HE could barely stand up. He was half way through Hill Country Rain before I even knew what he was signing.
I saw Alice Cooper in February 1979. He was just out of rehab, and the show was great. Not really the music, but the stage show utilized a movie screen with slits in it. The would project a movie and Alice would jump through the screen and be perfectly synced with the action, such as men in white coats chasing him around.
Then he and the men would jump through the screen in perfect sync with the film and run around on stage. It was my first date with my future wife. (I was in radio and the perks were free tee shirts and concert tickets.)
