Me too seen Zep and Tull also Vanilla Fudge together, for 5.00.......What a trip///////////
Outsiders, Chad & Jeremy, Lovin' Spoonful, Casinos, Standells, McCoys, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Terry Reid, Blues Brothers.

Most of these were opening acts--it might not have been their first tour but likely was. Many were supporting their first hit single or LP.
U2 in a small place called The Country Club in Reseda,Ca. Still have my ticket stub to. To be honest judging by the concert i never thought they would be this huge.
- Talking Heads 1976, first album. Small club Yonkers, NY.
The crowd found them so boring, the club was empty half way thru.
- Bad Company 1975. Headlining at MSG(Thin Lizzy opening act)
- Lene Lovich 1979 Stateless album, NYC
- David Johansen 1978 first solo album NYC
- Blondie at Max's Kansas City and CBGB. Then 1976 first official tour, Village Gate, NYC (on Private Stock Records)

- Also, Squeeze in a small club. They were known as UK Squeeze and were punks. They spit on the crowd and hurled obscenities at us.
- Almost forgot about Twisted Sister when they were a cover band (NYC area)
Stevie Ray Vaughn in a small club in NJ around 1983. Headliners were Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds that night. Being a Bowie fan, I new SRV played guitar on his Lets Dance record. I guess not many people knew SRV because only around 100 people were there to witness an INCREDIBLE 45 min set he played. I was blown away so I didn't even stay to see the rest of the show. Felt sorry for the fans who missed him that night. Oh Well...
