My buddy dated a girl who's parents were the biggest promoters in Houston & we got to usher every show they promoted. We'd usher for about 10 mins then look for a good spot to see the show... we saw um all! Allman Bros, Santana & so on!

Worked security at a local place called Castle farms. (Google it). Everybody from Dylan to Tina Turner played there. I was mostly busy running a wrecker to tow cars parked on the highway for the sheriff dept.

I just thought of an earlier event...see, I told ya those years were "foggy"!

The Righteous Brothers played in Orlando prior to 1965...not exactly a "rock" concert!

Think it was the Joe Perry Project. Around 1981? Aerosmith was broke up at the time. It was at Rocky Point amusement park.

He had a bar in Riverside, CA in the 70s. I met him there. Cute wife, too. All the music on the jukebox was his recordings. Placed was pretty empty, so I had a concert to myself with interesting chats between sets.

 

[zzrodder]

Rush, ZZ Top, Frank Zappa, followed by a bunch of blues guys, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee, BB King, others like George Thorogood, Commander Cody, last were the Rolling Stones on their Steel Wheels tour and The Who in '91. My wife saw way more before me like Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Guess Who, Fleetwood Mac.

I remember the Trashmen. The bird is the word! (saw them at a carshow in K.C.)

Yes e-man, the Trashmen still play. The drummer died and his son now plays with the group.

They played some good surf music.
