Thanks for bumping this thread from 2007. It's been a fun read and I've notice that many of the posters from then have disappeared from the site these days. Some back then only had a couple of posts and some are still with us. Kathie1 said it best though.

I met the band Grassroots in the late 60's as my band was the warmup band for their concert and have a news article written afterward saying our band upstaged them!.
I also met all the original members of Three Dog Night as I was working the stage when they played. I still have the broken drumsticks that were left on the stage. Their warmup guy was famous songwriter Hoyt Axton. Really nice guy (deceased).
Also met Jimmy Buffett since he lived where I live but he wasn't famous then.
There are others but these came to mind first.

Newer members keep the post going. It's quite interesting and has been dormant too long.
