Oh them guys.

Yeah, the Assistant Principal unplugged us 1/2 way thru 'Brown Sugar' during the encore of the Senior Talent Show back in '72. Funniest thing. The whole auditorium was groovin and all of a sudden dead silence 'cept for 'ol Crowbob banging away on the skins. Almost had a riot going on. Lights went up, buncha booin' and yelling.

Good times!

We were gonna play that Humble Pie tune '30 Days In The Hole' but didn't want to get in trouble.

True story.

Our Mick impersonator is now head of the Genetics Lab at the University of Toronto, Guitar player became chief chemist at 3M, base player went on to build hospitals in Uganda, piano guy is some kind fancy orthopedic brain surgeon somewhere or whatever.

Just don't get no better....Fred and Wilma :D

"....just as long as the guitar plays..."

"Star, Star" didn't make the setlist? :D

You guys know what the title really was...but I think that was '74 or so...

I'm surprised we got thru 'Sympathy for the Devil' unmolested.

We were rock stars then, and young.

I had a girlfriend whose father was some big PR honcho for Warner Brothers. He'd come home just about twice a month with comp tickets to big name acts at the Old Ford Theater or Cobo Hall or Olympia or just about any other venue in Detroit which was the epicenter of Rock n' Roll at the time. He'd fan out the tickets like a deck of cards and we'd take our pick. Best concert I ever saw was Jethro Tull on the Thick As a Brick Tour.

Doobie Brothers, Stones, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Elton John, Bob Seger, Average White Band. Oh the memories! The Doobie Brothers actually opened for T-Rex (of 'Bang A Gong' fame). Everybody left 1/2 way thru T-Rex; the Doobies stole the show!

I experienced a lot of 'firsts' back then-or so I'm told, my recollection actually being a bit foggy about it all.

That's very cool Bob. Last time I saw the Stones was with my ex-g/f a few years ago... she was a few years older than I, and from MI...her previous show was in '69 in some small venue in Detroit. Wasn't Cobo (I wore out several copies of "Live Bullet")...maybe one of the others you mentioned...wish I could've been there witcha!!!
