Grand Funk Railroad concert

Published by mnemonic under Other Stories Edit This

We attended a Grand Funk Railroad concert at Shea on July 9, 1971. Security was high, alcohol was confiscated. Our seats are at third base in the nosebleeds, maybe two rows from the top. We were told that 55,000 people attended. The stadium shook all for about four hours. Most of us were out of our seats dance, but those who were still sitting rebound at the top and bottom of the constant vibration of 55000 people jumping, dancing and applause. It was the best concert we have ever attended.
The centre-open field and a tank-type truck led the group in concert, which was located at the second goal. When the group left the truck, the crowd was wild and during the first song and most of the concert stage was literally swaying. He was a super concert. By the way, the cost of the ticket is $ 6 each for a total of $ 12! Proof of this is my ticket stub, which I have kept all these years.

Led Zeppelin. Incredible!!

Published by mnemonic under My stories Edit This

ere, the first time we saw them. It was a concert WHO
with a new band called the opening of the exhibition
Led Zeppelin.

In the show was on May 25, 1969.
WHO feet-Assoc. Townshend smashed his guitar work. My buddy
Tom Beech (who, as I went to Woodstock from 3 months) grabbed
a piece of the guitar.
Now you have to remember that Zeppelins first album was released about 4 months earlier,
on January 12, 1969. We are new, they have - that means that we have Yardbird fans, and knew who was Jimmy Page. In addition, by that time there had been “adding” about them. This was before MTV, and there was no place to get information about rock bands, with the exception of Rolling Stone magazine. The only radio station that played the “underground music” as Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, Cream, doors, etc. WASH was a small FM station in Washington, DC. On Friday and Saturday nights from 9 pm to 12 midnight they would play this music underground. Here it is, within 3 hours each night. All other radio stations were “TOP 40″. It may have been Cerphe (Cerphe known DJ Washington), which is a DJ.

LED ZEPPELIN
They were incredible!

Me and Margaret on Janeane Garofalo

Published by mnemonic under Other Stories Edit This

Kate and me left at approximately afternoon and took the lunch at a Chinese restaurant. We went in Uptown and we are stopped in some stores here and there and it tried to sell a couple of its old handbooks [the mission failed, because of the grumpy man to the store of book which says, “we do not deal with the handbooks here. ”]. We went in Cheapo [a store enormous record] and looked at CD. I walked out from there with absolutely nothing [to believe itself, I was shocked too much]. Then we decided to direct us right towards the theatre of state.

There is Barnes and noble just around the corner, thus we decided to kill a certain hour there. We wandered around and then went in top to seek biographies and such. I took a book of the poetry of cummings of e.e and then we move in bottom to obtain the coffee. We discovered that Janeane had been in the store not too a long time front [so much apparently while we seek in top of the biographies of Johnny Depp]. We gave each other a kick not to be able to see it.

We wandered around there of a little more and decided to move to the theatre and to trail there a little. Margaret had never been front there, thus I showed it around because it is a so beautiful place. I, naturally, showed that the exact spot where photographs of a couple of Travis were taken that finished upwards in magazine of Q [because I am a bundle] and it were in fear of the place. It is really astonishing. Splendid just.

With a little after seven, the open doors and we took our seats. We walked around a little and explored the theatre.

To eight, the exposure started and there was an act of opening for Janeane. This comrade called Tony something [I did not catch its last name, unfortunately] and was very, very funny for him. He joked about the way in which Minnesotans could not have the sex of telephone [“yaaaah of the OH, makin of yer I haaaaaahhht”] and very other funnyness. Janeane left after and was right a riot. It is so funny and normal simply and really fresh frigging. Do it went to far on little one tangeant on portable telephones [“not, I almost here, I approach the door, I can see you now, can am me to see to you? Ok I are you inside, can you see me now? What would you say of now? I am almost there! I see you! ” bands] and of hilarious teenybopper and other things.

After, Margaret and I projected on leaving but there were thus many people waiting to leave, we just decided to kill time and to leave later. So much both, being to us the dorks that we were, determined to wait at the entry of the slides if Janeane left [haha] and it had there nobody waiting except us. Our only index which it could not have still left was this black car and this type of driver which waited there. It left thereafter but upwards finished surrounding the block and continued to slow down by the door as if it sought somebody. We waited approximately an hour and did not see no matter whom [except a type which asked to us whether we had seen Janeane of the whole — why populate to think that I know where each one is me any time am with an exposure? !] and thus we are right parties. We would have waited longer unless we solid were frozen. Thus left we it and decided to have a certain worm after Perkins and call one night of it.

It was really recreation and the weather was fresh seeing an exposure which was not a concert of music — I never was with one, thus it was a really fresh experiment. And naturally, Janeane rocks the kasbah, thus it was certainly in value him.

Foo fighters concert for an oldboy

Published by mnemonic under Other Stories Edit This

My friend Maria and I obtained to the demonstration and was so excited because this one was my first concert always [jeez, only he took 17 years me to do that]. I obtained a shirt and we seated down in our seats. The triple shipper took the stage first and were really good. Each one oscillated towards it go to them and played so near 8 or 10 songs or. They left stage and the demonstration of char it went ahead. My impression of the Wendish one was that the individual of the singer hardly tried to be Scott Weiland [since the demonstration of char it consists of Robert, dean and Eric of the stone pilots of the temple and then new east individual] and he class of pissed extinguished to me. Musically they were same STP-esque without Scott sassy-ness.

I Love concerts

Published by mnemonic under My stories Edit This

I was with many concerts beginning behind approximately 1970 and I have a good number of stories to say it. Perhaps one will transform it into your book. That that I will say today took place with Springfield Illinois approximately 1975 0r 6. It was one evening of weekend and my friend T was at the house of the university. Not having anything with differently making we decided to go see the voyage for approximately it tenth time. They were supported by Ronnie Montrose in his first excursion soloe after the dismissal of its band. Being the ventilators enormous T and I of Montrose move for the hall tightened with a wine bottle and a nice grass bag between us. When we arrived at the place we were held outside before and struck to the top of a conversation with some hippies of comrade who hung outside in front of the place. The pot of nicotinism to the concerts was as normal as the breathing behind then thus of us smoked about it with these types which all the already pretty ones were wasted.
