How old were you?

Where did you see it?



I was 5 years old. I saw Juice Newton and Air Supply with my mom, dad, and sisters at the Colorado State Fair.

A local band named Glass Moon that actually went on to some noteriety outside of this region. They played a free gig at a local business sometime in the early to mid-70s. My first "real" concert was the Allman Brothers Band in Savannah, GA in 1975. The Allmans' roadies were the opening act. This was during Gregg's Cher period and the fans were none too happy about it with Jack Daniel's bottles busting across his grand piano most of the night. We left at midnight and they were still playing "Whippin' Post"...
