Lucky: Santana, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Lou Reed, Simple Minds, Talking Heads, The Pretenders, U2 (before they became really famous - fabulous concert 1984), The Cure, The Police, Gary Numan, David Bowie (twice).

A man flew in a plane.
Unluckily he fell out of it.
Luckily he had a parachute with him.
Unluckily the parachute did not open.
Luckily there was a haystack beneath him.
Unluckily there was a pitchfork in the haystack.
Luckily he missed the pitchfork.
Unluckily he missed the haystack.

LUCKY: Saw Genesis on the Wind And Wuthering tour at the Spectrum in Philadelphia P.A. I remember at one point of the show, they played an excerpt from Voyage Of The Acolyte but it's just been too long and I may be mistaken.

I saw PFM at the same place in the mid 70's. I don't remember who they opened for. They were outstanding!

Again Wishbone Ash too. They had a very clean sound and were tight.

ELP on the welcome back tour-Spectrum....astonishing.

Steeleye Span + Strawbs at the Chesnut P.A....GREAT

Hawkwind with Bridget Wishart fronting the band. They played lots of Calvert songs that night and Bridget changed costumes and wore disturbing masks. It was a fantastic Hawkwind show!

Steeleye Span in Philadelphia during the TIME album tour. Peter Knight was incredible! Maddy Prior came into the audience and danced jigs! As she signed my ticket, a guy approached her with a jacket on that had all sorts of buttons. He said: Oh Maddy! We just love you here in Philadelphia! You are the greatest in this city! Maddy said: Well if they love me so much, then why don't they play our music on the Phila stations?
UNLUCKY.....I saw Weather Report at the Tower Theatre just after the break up of the prime line up that had recorded Heavy Weather. I believe I had just purchased Night Passage that month. They had 2 percussionist from a music college with them. Wayne Shorter was walking about with an angry look upon his face. I was watching him from the side of the stage where I obviously did not belong. Show was not very interesting to me.

Saw Hawkwind at the Ambler Cafe. I was expecting to see Hugh LLoyd Langton or Simon House and hoping to hear material from Xeon Codex. Instead there were 3 members and they played material from 72'. I walked out.

I saw the original U.K. open for Al Dimeola at the Tower Theatre. During the U.K. performance, I could hardly hear Alan Holdsworth's guitar in the mix. Al Dimeloa came on and the guitar was crystal clear. I walked out.

I saw Robin Trower at the Spectrum in 1974 and his guitar was too loud. I saw him again, not by choice, at the Tower Theatre and his volume level was that of a jet airliner. I left with my ears whistling and a headache.
