Saw the Association when I was in High school in 1968. In college (early 70s), I saw Steve Miller Blues Band, the Grateful Dead, Peter Yarrow (of Peter Paul, and Mary) and Arlo Guthrie. At the Grateful Dead concert, you didn't need to bring anything into the concert since everyone else was smoking grass.
But my most memorable concert was in 1980 at Antioch College. An Irish band, Clannad, played in a small venue (500 capacity) to 24 people. We tried to make up for the lack of people with our enthusiasm and were rewarded by a great concert that went on for over 2 hours. At the end, they said that they almost walked off the stage when they saw the tiny crowd but stayed because of our enthusiasm. Even though we had very little money at the time, we bought two albums afterwards!
