Forseegood - nostalgia at your request
I remember the early 60s; the cafe Wha and the Village Gate. High on LSD and listening to Bob Dylan live before any one know who he was. There was a great store on 4th street that sold LSD and Peyote over the counter before it was illegal - no thanks to Timothy Leary.
Ah yes, love before Aids - the days of the quickie without worries :).

About 15 – 20 years ago Mafalda and I went to see Chuck Berry at the Stamford Forum in Connecticut. The last time I saw him was at the Brooklyn Fox in 1958!
Well this was sure different; the audience was mostly grey and so was Chuck. His playing was listless and instead of his famous Duck Walk he kind of shuffled around the stage.
A young lady walked up to him and handed him a balloon that said “Happy Birthday”. He tied the balloon on the end of his guitar and stood reflectively for a minute. He said “I can’t believe I am 70 years old.”
He struck a chord and instantly I knew the old Chuck Berry was back. He bounced around the stage doing his famous walk and in 2 minutes he had the crown standing on the seats screaming! It was fabulous. I am so glad that was my last memory of seeing him live.

The Yardbirds at the Filmore just before they broke up. Jimmy Page on guitar, whoa!
Eric Burdon and the Animals on the same bill.
Michael Bloomfield with The Electric Light Orchestra
Flying home from boarding school in Menlo Park to Hong Kong. Stopping in Haight Ashbury to buy some "blue wafer" LSD and hashish to smuggle back and smoke with my english musicians friends in Hong Kong. Going to all the Discos in Kowloon where all the RR soldiers would go from Vietnam and dancing to all the motown music (wilson pickett) and Procol Harum's Lighter Shade of Pale. Couple years later, stopped at Filmore on my way to summer job working on a frieghter that was taking beer over to Vietnam for the troops (dad had connections). Saw the Who, Ike And Tina Turner, Deep Purple. Had to cut my hair, felt stupid walking around the crowd.
