Performers: Queen
Date: November 13, 1977
Venue: Springfield Civic Center, MA
Cost of ticket: $7.50
This was an event that I consciously did not want to miss, even though I was not a Queen fan. But I wanted to experience them and I am very glad that I did.
Brain May's guitar is a sort of drug, or medicine, even better.
It is true that the sound of his guitar is very unique, sweet, fulfilling, but really the guy is a genius. So I was glad I saw him play. Freddie was very corrorgraphed in his movements from one side of the stage to the other - very deliberate. Not as smoothly natural, so I am wondering if performing was really his thing? I don’t know maybe not.
The music was powerful. I don’t think there was a backup band or if I just missed them . . .

Linda Ronstatdt @ Tanglewood, MA
Performers: Linda Ronstadt, Bernie Leadon
Date: August 23, 1977
Venue: Tanglewood Performing Arts Center, Lenox MA
cost of ticket: $4.50
So I was right back up to Lenox to see Linda - one of my all time favorite singers back then. And she was with Bernie Leadon, of the Flying Burrito Brothers, and Eagles fame. I don't remember much about this concert, weather I was in the performing arts center "shell" or out on the lawn; hopefully it was a beautiful night.

Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker @ Music Innn, Lenox MA
Performers: Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker
Date: August 20, 1977
Venue: Music Inn, Lenox MA
cost of ticket: $6.50
Does anyone remember Music Inn? What a great place. I saw many concerts here because a friend of mine was living there in one of the out buildings that they had converted over to apartments at the time. A real hippy village.
I am a huge Bonnie Raitt fan at this time, so I enjoyed this concert, probably singing along with most of the songs. This was an outdoor venue, so everyone sat on the lawn of an up-sloped hill.

Dave Mason, Heart @ Springfield Civic Center, MA
Performers: Dave Mason, Heart, Sanford Townshend Band
Date: August 12, 1977
Venue: Springfield Civic Center, MA
cost of ticket: $6.50
If I remember correctly, a lot of the people who came to this concert came for Heart. I was impressed with their professionalism. However, I was not a big fan of the lead singers voice; she never struck me as a singer of rock and roll. Not enough guts. But she has a cultured voice.

YES, Donovan @ Springfield Civic Center, MA
Performers: YES, Donovan
Date: August 10, 1977
Venue: Springfield Civic Center, MA
cost of ticket: $7.50
WOW - I seem to remember this concert vividly, as well - YES was awesome. Maybe too many instrumental solos, but I was blown away. Who can be in the same room with Rick Wakeman and my favorite ANGEL = Jon Anderson whose voice is like "home", and not be transported into the spiritual realm. Even then, at 17 years old, I understood that these musicians were touched by the heavens. . . I still listen to YES, still feel the power/splendor of their music, and thank GOD that I saw them with all their most talented musicians intact.
Oh yes, and Donovan - he is very cool actually. I love this guy, but I have to say, I don't remember much of his performance. Does anyone else out there? Refresh my memory Steven!!!

Holy hatracks, I remember this concert as if it where just a few years ago. I was only 17 years old, drove up there with two of my best friends; all three of us knew every "Danny" song by heart. Sat there in the Performing Art Center seating area (not out on the lawn) and drank from a large thermal dispensing unit which was filled with lemonaide by my mother. However, on the trip to Lenox, we poured a bottle of rum in it. So now it is very potent. We drank and drank, and sang to every song, which was very annoying to the people around us. Oh my goodness - we were totally out of line - just like punk kids that I see now adays. No manners. Very drunk. Really happy, though - because we LOVED DANNY, and he did need our backing vocals, if I remember correctly.
What a great concert - we all did a fantastic job!
Did you see this concert - were you in the next row and totally annoyed with three drunk young girls? If so, please leave your memories, comments, thoughts and ideas . . . and sorry about that!
