Before They Were Famous

Albertporter, Oh no I don't. I cheered him! I was there to see him! My best friend cousin was older and a hippie and turned us to on to music that was ahead of our age (I was 11).

I also saw Aerosmith on the highschool circuit, at Phillips Exeter in 1973.

Saw Kurt Cobain buy an NME, a Village Voice, and a porn magazine at a news shop in Alphabet City, NYC (Avenue A, between 8th and 9th, to be exact) in 1989. Exchanged words about the Nirvana gig the night before, and agreed to meet at a New Music Seminar event the next evening. He never showed up. Didnn't stop me from writing an (as yet unpublished) biography of Cobain (entitled "Grunge Pedal") from 1996 to 1998 while I was largely unemployed and very creative, fresh out of graduate school (Comparative Lit PhD.) and newly moved to Leipzig, Germany with beautiful new German wife. Does anyone know a publisher?

Tubegroover, were you looking for the "Allman Joys?"

I saw Elvin Bishop at my undergrad college auditorium, (actually let him in the side door to the auditorium before the show, as none of the yankees there in Kentucky recognized him.) Wait... damn, that doesn't count. He was on his way down as it had been a few years since the hits. He ain't good looking, but he sure can play. [:)]

Albert and Dekay, you are like Forrest Gump! I would really like to share a libation with you one day, sit back and listen to the stories you could tell.

Charlie

Joplin and Hendrix at the Singer Pavillion of the old New York Worlds Fair in Flushing, Queens. I think it was 1968 and I was 16 at the time (went with some older kids and it was my first concert)....Unbelievable!!!
