3. I'm loving the armatures!
But you're right. They don't make 'em like they used to!

5. I liked it better the first time!
Sometimes typos are just too funny. Usually I never notice mine until too late and I hate that.

But they still make me giggle.

7. Funny thing is, I don't think I need a bigger font on this "baby Mac" and I make...
twice the typos. I really should admit my age and switch the font. I keep typing "sex" instead of "sec"! lol It's going to get me into some serious trouble.

:rofl:

10. Well, this WAS a cheap and cheesy TV show, not a full-blown concert.
Personally, I'd rather have plain and simple if it meant AFFORDABLE. I remember paying $10 or $12 when I started going to concerts in the early 1980s. Now you have to fork over $50-$75. That's why I don't go to concerts any more. I prefer to buy a $20 concert DVD and watch it whenever I want.

11. Yeah-I saw Jefferson Starship with John Mayall's Blues Breakers
(With John Mark and Johnny Almond) in the Spectrum for about $10. Starship went on first, then 95% of everybody left, and Mayall came out and asked everybody to come down to sit on the floor or dance. Breakers played for nearly 2 hours.

I'm sure man people here have no idea who any of these performers are - even the Spectrum is gone.

mark

I don't use spel chek - I just corect as I go.

13. yeah but
A bunch of these kids today sound like amateurs or worse in comparison. They were playing it live and raw on that clip with no help from any autotune or anything. It took real talent to make rock and roll back then.

14. I don't think it's that bad
it was probably a pretty good backdrop for its day, and back then you actually had to focus on the performers instead of the pyrotechnics & special effects.

of course, I haven't been to a concert since the mid 90s, either.
