REV,i thought way back then all you gals were peter framton fans? 

Hey, back off on Peter Frampton. He was fantastic when with Steve Marriott and Humble Pie "Thirty Days in th Hole". That band just wasn't big enough for the two of them.

Frampton is one he11 of a guitar player. There was a big article In The Bar Fly about him.(He played around here a couple weeks ago) He has a new CD out, too a all guitar playing. I haven't heard it yet, so I have no opinion on it.

Great thread!!  Man, so many concerts and so few memories First concert in '74 was The Guess Who/Wet Willie/Cowboy. Best would have to be Led Zeppelin in '77. Bonzo's drum set moved front and center for the drum solo in 'Moby D!ck' and Bruce Springsteen in '78. They each played for the better part of 4 hrs in their respective shows  

Honorable mentions to Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Stone Temple Pilots (before drugs got the better of Scott Weiland), Grand Funk Railroad, Rush, Nugent, and Deep Purple.

And although not music, i have to give a nod to Richard Pryor and George Carlin

From memory and in alphabetical order!!  Very impressive Dave. I'd like to see your sock drawer!    Now, can you saw the alphabet backwards one more time for me??  Still blows my mind.

So do you all remember the first album you ever bought?  I do...but I can't share it with you...waaaay to much ridicule would come from it.

Bought on the same trip to the store...Pink Floyd/Dark Side of the Moon, Jethro Tull/Living in the Past, Yes/Fragile. Still have them For some reason i remember seeing the issue of Rolling Stone with the Hulk on the cover near the cash register that day

 

[TreeFrog]

same trip....hmmmm

[Madmax440]

The first album that I actually purchased with my own money would have to be either Ten Years After (to speak of another great guitarist - Alvin Lee) "A Space in Time" or Jethro Tull "Aqualung".
