Nope, I was not a Queen fan. Yes, I enjoyed this concert. Freddie hit all the notes, but was really corregraphed on stage in his movements.

OK - here is some serious gray matter recall . . . I am closing my eyes . . . I am remembering some fragments of this experience. . . and I am not impressed. Sorry, and I even like Jackson Browne.

Linda Ronstadt, Andrew Gold @ Tanglewood Lenox MA
Performers: Linda Ronstadt, Andrew Gold
Date: September 1, 1976
Venue: Tanglewood Performing Arts Center
cost of ticket: N/A
Aaaah, a great memory! I went to this concert as a guest to one of the finest people to walk the planet, my brother's friend Jeff. Jeff and I were huge Ronstadt fans, as well as sharing the love for YES.
Not only did Andrew Gold help play in Linda's band, but he had some quality stage time on his own. He had just put out his second album "What's Wrong With This Picture?" which I owned and enjoyed featuring the hit, Lonely Boy.

Winter Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd @ Springfield, MA
Performers: Winter Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tuff Darts
Date: August 24, 1976
Venue: Springfield Civic Center
cost of ticket: $7
Well right after their buddy Rick Derringer leaves the venue, in comes the Winter Brothers. I have been a Johnny Winter fan now for a few years, so it is a treat to see him with his Brother Edgar. I can't recall much about this show. Perhaps I was wishing that Rick had stayed around, and joined them on stage. . . Say what you will, Edgar is a fine musician, and his varied training and range added luster to this show.
What a treat to see Lynyrd Skynyrd - an entire stagefull of musicians. These guys were all about a fine live performance with high energy and lots of guitar solos.

Aerosmith and Derringer @ Springfield, MA
Performers: Aerosmith, Derringer, Starz
Date: August 12, 1976
Venue: Springfield Civic Center
cost of ticket: $7
Here is a fun one to report and puts a smile on my face. What a strong show for me. I was going to see my buddy, Rick Derringer in his "new band" called Derringer. They were pretty good - he has some strong musicians in his band; lots of long big hair, if I remember correctly. Let me say a bit about Rick. . . he has a great heart for rock and roll, a super voice coming out of his little body, and he can play. I never thought of him as being this great guitarist, however he does have a knack for riff, and his chops are strong and clean. I think that is what I have always liked about Rick Derringer, is that he plays a clean, nice sounding guitar.
Aerosmith rocks! Always fun but professional, as well.

Date: July 25, 1976
Venue: Schaeffer Stadium
cost of ticket: $10
Schaeffer/Sullivan/Foxboro Stadium is the home of the New England Patriots in the eastern part of the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts. HUGE PLACE = YUCK. I love the Eagles, so I know I was front and center spirtually to see them, however I don't think I had very good seats! Fleetwood Mac had Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks performing with them by now, so they were hot and very popular.

Colt Park was a huge outdoor arena in Hartford. Sometimes we would go and just see if we could get in, or perhaps sit up on this hill and listen to the music for free. I am pretty sure that is what I did for this concert.
