Definitely not. Loved his song "Fire" back in the '60s. You might know Carl Palmer was in his band back then. The two reunited with Yes and John Lodge of the Moody Blues last year which I was lucky enough to see.

Bumpy, what version of Genesis were you into - with Peter Gabriel, without him but with Steve Hackett, or the And Then There Were Three lineup?

They're one of my favorite bands of all time after the Beatles, Stones, Dylan and the Cure. I saw them countless times but never with Gabriel until he reunited with Hackett, Collins, Banks and Rutherford on their one off reunion at Milton Keynes in 1982, which sorta changed my life.

Rub it in. I was living in Saugus at the time and I begged my parents to let me go see them but they refused saying I was too young to go to a concert and they weren't about to take me.

Another biggie would have to be when Aerosmith, The Outlaws, Ted Nugent & Foghat toured together in 1976(?). Odd that I don't remember that much of the show...

I never got to see the original, but did see the Aussies and they are phenominal. To experience a bit of Floyd's early genius, give this a view. Careful with that Ax, Eugene from Ummagumma.

I had a friend in Texas that had ZZ TOP as their Prom Band. (It was like 1970)

I’ve never been into any rock type bands. I’ve read many of these posts and admit I’ve never heard of half of them. You lost me after mentioning Julie Andrews. Lol. We’re all different. Loved Diana Ross and The Supremes.

It’s obscure and possibly weird, but my first and best was Pablo Cruise at Spragins Hall on the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 1982

Nothing wrong with Pablo Cruise. I was living in Atlanta when they put out the song Atlanta June, really pretty song, and they're great musicians and they still tour with all but one original member. They are a band some can make fun of, sort of like Air Supply, even they can really sing. I like a lot stuff.

Maybe that speaks to why your posts are sort of out of tune, out of focus, nothing wrong with that, but you're definitely different. Try turning on a classic rock station, locally 95.5 WIND Ocala. Honestly my life would of been totally differently without music, rock music to be exact. Most people my age, our age, were watching Ed Sullivan in February 1963 and watched the Beatles. That was the turning point for me. Then again, I thought the movie Armadeus in '83 was fantastic, Mozart was great, it's all great if you listen loud. Trying going to the square when they reopen and the Hooligans are playing.
