Concert Memories and Lack of Same

[SlowwHand]

Concerts. Popular belief seemed to be that one at least smoked at them. In retrospect, I disagree.
I know that I went to see Savoy Brown, but have no actual memory.
I know that I went and saw Edgar Winter, but all that I remember is Edgar saying, "People keep asking me, where's your brother? Johnny, come out here". That's it. All that I remember.
Tonight, it got worse. I saw Bob Dylan and have zip memory of it.
I'm sure that I must have had an enjoyable time, wouldn't you think?
Please tell me that I'm not alone.
OTOH, I saw ELO alone and straight as straw. It was like a mental orgasm. Maybe the best show I ever saw. Well, 2nd best. I did see and remember seeing Eric Clapton, as my final hurrah.

are you sayin the drugs kicked in and thats when your blackouts began?

[SlowwHand]

I guess it could be viewed that way.

Isn't the adage, "if you remember the 60s, you weren't really there"?

I've always known that I didn't know about Savoy Brown and Edgar Winter.

Bob Dylan died in 1979 as far as I'm concerned.

I've never been to a live concert...that I can remember. Well, maybe 1 in Golden Gate Park in SF about 50 years ago

I love music but I prefer listening to studio recordings, live performances have to compete with screaming fans and being in the midst of those screaming fans didn't appeal to me. I might have gone to a light show with Pink Floyd music.

[SlowwHand]

That's amazing. Never was a crowd person either. I always tried to get first row lower balcony.

Twenty years ago my friends and I would always go to the front row and take part in all the mosh pits. Now I prefer to stay further back. Probably in another twenty years I'll only go to shows where I can sit confortably, haha.

I was in a Roger Waters concert in Madrid a few years ago (good music is eternal). It felt weird at first to be sitting on an armchair surrounded by people from my parents' generation. But we lit up a spliff and no one seemed to care. I remember looking around and thinking: this will be me in tweny or thirty years. Nothing wrong with that, just another stage in this game called life.

Roger Waters 'In the Flesh' is one of my favorite live albums, the dueling guitars of Doyle Bramhall III and Snowy White at the end of Comfortably Numb is exquisite.

I have tons of great concert memories, going back 50 years.
