I was an avid concert goer in my teens and twenties and oh what memories. I saw Procol Harum do Whiter Shade Of Pale when I was probably 18 at Fillmore West in San Francisco. I was lucky enough to see a some amazing concerts at Berkeley Community Theater..Winterland, in San Francico...(it was a skating rink and we sat on wooden floors..I waited all day in a long, long line to see The Rolling Stones but so worth it..also Oakland Coloseium.
I got to see Barry Manilow open for Bette Midler in the early days before she went to a huge venue..i saw Rod Stewart countless times, Elton John (it was so cool seeing him in Berkeley before he went to the huge venues), Leon Russell, Doobie Brothers, Cat Stevens (when he was Still Cat Stevens..lol), and so many others. I remember seeing Elton John at Oakland Colisiem when Yellow Brick Road came out. he opened with Love Lies Bleeding in a perfectly dark stadium..lol..and omg..everyone flicked their lighters and when the pace of the song picked up the lights came up too..(of course he was wearing his glasses that lit up).
haha..so many concert memories..
