    Met him 20 or so years ago at the Roanoke Hooters (It's GOT to feel funny thinking "I USED to fill up stadiums, NOW I'm at Hooters") He had a bad back and whatnot from a car crash, sat around and chatted with anyone who wanted to, had grandkids on his lap, seemed happy enough with the world

    I remember the California Jam as a kid, (they were trying to recreate Woodstock with a better money-making plan, and no Hell's Angels) they showed it on TV spread out over several nights, was fucking wondrous to me at the time. Damn that was 50 years ago

    I remember first hearing that song in high school, LOTS better than Lead Belly's version

    This one too. Again, poor acoustics. Almost couldn't see the stage for the ganja smoke and I was only halfway back.


    I saw them in '77 in DC, (was 16, very first show) was incredible, they played for 3 hours, the other 3 left the stage and shot up or whatever while Bonham played a 45 minute drum solo

    incredible voice. Early Elton John was great.

    His first few albums are the best you'll ever hear

    Brings back memories of my best friend Tom Limbach when I was mebbe 11. For whatever reason, we'd been in the same class every year since 3rd grade, and the biggest thing we had in common was the Beatles, like EVEY conversation, drove my father nuts. Remember sitting in his living room trying to play HELP on our shitty acoustic guitars. Moved away at the end of 11th grade when my father died, went back for 10 year reunion in '88, found he'd been dead all those years, died in a drunken accident in '79
