Saw a lot of the ones you saw (the Derek Dominos one is hugely impressive; never saw them!) Some not on your list that I saw are Led Zeppelin, Queen, Janice Joplin ($2 at Harvard Stadium Summertime Concert, last concert she ever did), Elton John ($5 at Boston Tea Party 1970)
Humble Pie, James Gang, Mountain, Byrds, Traffic, Def Lepard, Bonnie Raitt, Jethro Tull, Procol Harum, Faces, Savoy Brown, Mott The Hoople
Ten Years After, Grateful Dead, Neil Young, J Geils, Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, Bloodrock, Grand Funk Railroad, Johnny Winter,
Terry Reid, Cactus, Livingston Taylor, Chris Smither, Doc Watson, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Three Dog Night, Dave Van Ronk, Gov't Mule,
The Beach Boys, Tom Jones (sorry), Dolly Parton (sorry), and others that I can't remember off the top of my head.
Aerosmith played the opening of a venue in Boston called "The Box" which was closed down the next day by the Fire Dept and never opened again. I also saw the Doors the night the Boston Arena "pulled the plug" at 2:30 AM and Morrison went berserk. When I saw Fleetwood Mac, there were no women in the band yet. No one believes what I paid for Janis or Elton John, but it is 100% true! When I saw Faces, Ron Wood was the lead guitarist (also was Bass guitarist for Jeff Beck at one point and now is in the Stones).
When I saw Mott The Hoople (1974), Queen was actually supposed to open for them but Brian May got Hepatitis and they had to cancel that tour. In the Hoople Anniversary box set, May did the liner notes and said that Mott was the only group they ever opened for. Janice Joplin drank Southern Comfort right out of the bottle during her set. Before he sang "Rock and Roll", Robert Plant said, "We'd like to apologize for the delay in the release of our latest album; it's a little thing called Atlantic Records" The record company was refusing to release it because the band refused to give it a title. Most people just refer to it as Led Zeppelin IV
(reminds me of the album called The Beatles which everyone calls the White Album).
