I saw the Youngbloods at a concert with a couple of other bands. They blew chunks.

One young teen band that blew me away unexpectedly was Gary and the Hornets of "Hi Hi Hazel" fame. They played with multiple bands including The Seeds and several others.

I enjoyed Buddy Miles and Earth, Wind and fire... I produced those concerts among several others.

Lucky Lucky seeing the Beatles, Hendrix, Joplin, basically all of them are awesome.

I think we have talked before about producing concerts... Did you meet the groups?

[HereWeGoAgain]

Haven't met any music stars but I have met so many sports stars that I've lost count.

Yes. When Buddy Miles came a walking down from the gate at Sea Tac with his entourage he handed me a big coffee can to hold for him. It was full of Acapulco Gold. Maurice White late of E,W & Fire was a genuine man. John Lee Hooker, myself and a guitar playin local friend sat up all night drinking top shelf whisky and gobbling down a couple of huge buckets of KFC. Yes, I've met and got to know many "stars" Oh ya and the members of Yes and I partied all night with a bunch of hotties and a qtr lb of some of the finest Peruvian flake I provided. Good times!

There is nothing like having a front row seat for the trololo man.

I know, I hate crowds now... back then I never thought about the crowds. Everyone seemed mellow back then..Now everyone is uptight and angry..lol

Awesome that you met these people....partied all night..Maurice seemed to have that genuineness about him. I have been listening to them a lot lately .

Partied with Yes ... thumbs up..

Are you planning to go to any in the future..?

I went to a Grateful Dead concert in the late 1980's..It was like walking back in time to the 1960's. The people who followed them around were hard core hippies..lol..it was fun

I saw the Eagles first concert when they first got back together at the Ritz Carleton in Aspen. If I remember right tickets were a cool five grand a piece with the proceeds all going to charity and they sold the venue out in something like fifteen minutes! I got in for free because I was skiing buddies with the Ritz Carleton's F&B manager. Great show...it's like they'd never stopped playing together.

Now that was good luck to know the manager... $5,000 ykes. but the Eagles are so worth it if you have the money.
Do you think the band will come back? Differently of course..
