Pink Floyd post-Syd Barrett, pre-Rogers departure. Specifically, I'd love to have gotten to see The Wall live. *shudder* I have seen both Pink Floyd post-Waters and Waters solo, adn they're great, but neither compares to Pink Floyd of the 70s. 5. Mighty Might BossToneS - love my ska, and next time they're in Austin, I'm going even though I'm sure they'll be playing Emo's again and I'm just a bit "too old" for the Emo's crowd. lol I think it's kinda cool, considering my wide range of music that I listen to, that I've only got 5 on my list after thining about it for a month! lol Make that 6... BOSTON! Man, oh man - their first two albums, especially. That 70s-era Boston is GREAT!

Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, the way I get watching VIDEO fo him I'm sure I'd just about faint if I saw him live & in person! lol Heck, I hate just standing in one place, but each time I see Double Trouble now, I'm in the exact same spot for the entire show, glued in place to enjoy!

She said again that September with Big Brother at the Old Filmore with Santana. This rang a bell as I definitely remember seeing Santana and can picture her on the stage with them at the end. Whew. October 5, 1969: Winterland - Kozmic Blues - this I MOST definitely remember.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 LOL! I wish I could remember all of them. My parents were/are music junkies. We were constantly at concerts, mainly Blues when I was a kid. Especially in SF. When I got a bit older (I'm afraid to say what I consider older as it makes me look older and my parents unattentive but it was different times back then) my cousins and I would hang out behind the Old Filmore to see and hear all the musicians. Unbelievable stuff. ;>

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Yep, Clapton, Guy and Cray with him. God, it's still so sad. Makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it. What a trip!
