Nirvana? Britney? All of that sucks so hard. I hope no kid ever asks me what it was like going to a Hootie and the Blowfish concert.

That's sad to hear. One of my friends was in Foghat.

Oh yeah, I was just coming on to my mushrooms when Bill Graham announced that Jimmy's guitar was broken, as an excuse for their lateness.
We in the backstage knew it was a lie and were waiting for the audience to storm the stage.
They kept playing "Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits" over and over, till everyone booed when it came on again.

Wow, did you ever get that BACKWARDS.
Jeezus (I mean Art), don't you have ears?
Everybody was supposed to hate the Carpenters' cause they were so square.
I'm glad I was different.

I wish a few singers would try to learn from Karen Carpenter rather than constantly re-hashing Aretha. I love Aretha , but I HATE EVERY imitator.

Hah I saw them in 77 as well. In Cincinatti. I was down front and it looked like the whole stage was moving horizontally back and forth, left and right.. but then I realized that it was the churning of the massive crowd that was moving Us back and forth.

oh look:

Zep were a very sloppy live band, real inconsistent (this I know from boots, I was too young to see 'em). Even their records are uneven, but you could make a killer 3LP best-of. That one side of Physical Graffiti with Ten Years Gone, Down by the Seaside, Bron-Y-Aur, and In the Light kinda says it all.

I saw them live with low expectations. I was totally impressed by all of them.

As far as old bands still doing it, I always thought it was a bad idea. But then I saw a tape of a recent Stones show, and I changed my mind. They were really good.

The Cream reunion show totally sucked, though. The five minutes I watched.
