1984 - Yes in Hartford, CT.

Ended up having to illegally drive (15 years old at the time) the two guys I went with home after they got bombed out of their gourds.

Considering it was the first time behind the wheel, things went well until the Dodge Monaco wagon decided to blow a hose...

1970 Grand Funk Railroad at Municipal Auditorium in KC, MO. Friend was going to take his girlfriend but her parents wouldn't let her go. I was invited in her place.

Would love to have seen them! Their "Grand Funk Live" album, 1970, is one of my favorites!

They played at my high school, too - Acalanes, in Walnut Creek, CA, in about 1980. They changed their name to the Pink Twinkies for the night so the principal wouldn't cancel it. I stayed home to play games on my new TRS-80

Rare Earth, 1971 at Big Surf water park, Scottsdale, Az. 17yrs old.
