Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............

When Pink Floyd played in the Bay area... Late 80's early 90's??? My brother offered me tickets to go, I turned him down. I still regret not going.

instead of going to Woodstock, I saw Led Zeppelin in a small venue in CT...sat in the second row!...the hair on my arms still stands when I think about it...one of the most powerful shows I've ever seen...a regret?...not going down to the late show at Fillmore East on New Year's Eve for the Band of Gypsies...I was lucky to see Jimi three previous times, but couldn't get anyone to go with me...heard the late show was when he really hit the groove!

I was one of the fortunate ones who saw the ELP Brain Salad Surgery Tour - simply incredible! I *knew* I was in for a good show when I walked onto the floor, looked to the stage and saw two HUGE stacks of speakers. Then, I looked to the back and saw *matching* stacks - yes, a quadraphonic live show!!

Biggest missed show? Could be Pink Floyd's original DSOTM tour - my girlfriend went and came back raving about it. She also said there was this *really* good opening act, "I think their name was ZZ Tops?" Ho-lee shit!!

I also missed Danny Gatton's last performance, had my albums all stacked up and ready to be signed, but never left the house cuz sumpin' else came up...Bummer.

A couple of weeks ago I went to Carla Bley performance on Irridium jazz club.
The second show was going to be different as I spoke with one of her musicians but I couldn't stay longer since I needed to let babysitter go home(it was already too late) but I realy miss listening her longer and longer.
A couple of years ago I missed performance of Trilok Gurtu never knowing back than that he IS so great.

Don't feel bad Ben. I blew off the Beatle's reunion which took place on 04/01/74 @ the K-Mart Mall (Iowa City, IA) because I thought the whole thing to be an April Fool's Day joke.
