One ballad after another but no lively change ups. Dionne Warwick was a little odd also so we left that show. Johnny isn’t exactly rock , we had front row seats two years ago to see him at winstar casino which is the largest casino in the world just over the Oklahoma border. Only time we go there is when there is a good concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked out on Procol Harem in Fillmore East, opening acts were great including the Byrds this was 1969 right after I finished basic training. Fairly recently we walked out on Diana Ross she kept audience waiting for about a hour then sounded terrible, this was a charity event in Dallas. I never walked out on a singer or group no matter how bad they were . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t walk out of the Aerosmith concert we went to cuz it was pretty good - considering that Steven Tyler kept “disappearing” backstage 😉🤨😏. But ZZ Top was the opening act and they were fantastic.

I never saw him live.I liked Chances Are.When he first began to record in the mid 50’s Rock music was in its infancy .It was the British Invasion in my opinion that changed the face of music.

Loved the book that was loosely based on Stevie Nicks, “Daisy Jones and the Six”. Heard it’s being made into a movie - hope so. How about just Stevie Nicks. Love her voice, love her looks. Put them together and she is mesmerizing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you just reminded me. Saw Elvis at the Cow Palace, near San Francisco in the very early 70’s. Def before 1973 which is when we moved to RI. My Mom was a fanatic.

I've seen grateful dead just over 100 times, led zeppelin, pink floyd, tom petty, Crosby stills and nash, Chicago, Billy joel, Elton John and a bunch more I cannot remember right now. Concert air does make us forget things. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing performance. He is a very sexy mover in concert! I've seen him a few times, I didn't realize how petite he is in real life. Great fun at his earlier shows.

I posted earlier on this thread about my friend David who is a Deadhead.David knows more about Rock Music than anybody I have ever known.His wife grew up in the Salt Lake City area and knew nothing about rock music till she met David.
