Before They Were Famous


What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.

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!!!
Charlie, I saw Elvin twice up here in Roch.NY in the mid 70's.He was awesome and put on a great show.He was fun to watch,rotting teeth and all!
Oh, just for my bit, its classical, it was Friedrich Gulda, and we both (unwittingly and later, wised up but unwillingly ) shared the same girlfriend, an up and coming pianist as well. Yes , glory days and so long gone.....Gulda died about two years ago and I wonder what has become of her.........
