1.) Eddie Holman
Brooklyn BridgeSteel Pier, Atlantic City, June 1971
I remember Eddie opening with the Temptations own Get Ready. The Brooklyn Bridge was all long haired, wearing tied-dye clothing and opened the show with something that sounded sort of Hendrix.
Eddie had that hit; Hey There Lonely Girl
2.) August Max
J. F. Murphy and Salt
Carteret High School Football Field, August 1971
I paid $5.00 to a Carteret cop so I can hop over the fence in the back of the stadium, instead of paying full price. J. F. Murphy did have a live album recorded at the Fillmore East, they opened their show with a bagpipe player near the stands and then he proceeded to walk across the field through the audience to the stage which was set up in the middle of the field. The show was put on by the graduating class of that year. It was also noted by a friend of my older brother that the wacky weed was being smoked somewhere in the audience. I at the time had no clue what she was referring to.
3.) Sha Na Na
Stevie Wonder and the Wonderettes
John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band
Madison Square Gardens, Matinee Show, August 30,1972
I went with Mike and Rick. Rick’s dad drove us there. The scalpers were interested in the night show, at $150.00. I paid maybe $20.00 for my ticket. Sha Na Na had Vince Taylor with them. Stevie Wonder’s band would change their name within two months to Wonderlove. Stevie played greatest hits during his set, ending with Superstitious.
This was a One To One Benefit show. The only time I ever saw spot lights used with mirrors to light up the stage.
John Lennon opened with chanting Power To The People six times then opened with New York City.
During this portion of the show the unsold tickets were being given out on the streets. Ricks’ dad was able to get in with no ticket and he got Rick and Mike after the show. I ended up going home on the bus with future members of the Smithereens and others, including Andy K. from Carteret. My mother had asked me were I was all day, I must have been home by 6 pm, I told her that I was at Woodbridge Center all day. About seven years later I told her the truth, something to do with some biblical verse. I think she knew the whole time.
4.) Bruce Springsteen
Chicago
Madison Square Gardens, June 14, 1973
This was the absolute first time Bruce had ever played the garden. He was introduced as being from New Jersey and the people were telling him to go back there. They did like the show somewhat.
Chicago had just released that album after that Live at Carnegie Hall album, the band had played Carnegie again and this was the first show of two nights being their first time playing the Garden. They were received much better than Bruce as everyone clapped to every song Chicago played. My ticket was an extra that my brother John and his high school gang had.

A Most Typical Journey
A most "Typical" concert, for reasons to be explained later much to the chagrined of Brian who drove. It's "Later, the new buzz word for the day was "Typical". Typical was used in every form of conjugation. A typical right turn into a typical Philly Slum School Yard full of Typical Hoodies was the best yet for the entire typical trip home. Was until the ride home when Brian typically pulled the car over and screamed at us three in the back to Shut Up, Shut Up, Shut Up !
Now Dave was in the typical passenger seat holding some kind of flower that he obtained from the drummer's stage set. How Typical ? So he typically was not in a position to interfere with the three of us in the back being typically chided and yelled at. Of course the three of us typically agreed to stop doing whatever it was that we were doing, and Brian started driving back on home. Only to have one of us in the back mutter under their breath ...
" How Typical".

Ten Years After
Faces
Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, August 22, 1975 - $7.50
Lynard Skynard had an interesting light show, even though it was during the day time.
I had no clue just who they were until they performed Freebird. Actually I was rather clueless all throughout the day, but the guy who handed me a loaded hash pipe to hold was the most clueless that is until Mike came running over to save the pipe from whatever.
Then I knew who they were. They were that band who recorded that song that the Florida radio station WSHE-FM of Miami played all the time, but never ever gave the name of the band. After Matty had to drag me around during the first band, it was my turn to drag him around during the next band.
This was the Faces last tour and they had two bassists, the other guy being the replacement bassist for the band Free. We could not stop chanting “Stewart Sucks”.
There's much more to this story.

A very interesting thing with Rosie from Clark happened on my way to this show, as well as the story leaving. Plus a visit with Anne the next day to the aftermath in the parking lot.
Maybe at a later date I'll tell this story.
9/20/2011; I went to the concert with Rosie from Clark, and it took about seven rides to get back home. Rosie and her girlfriends all went into the site at around midnight and that's the last I saw of them. Instead I went to sleep behind some bushes at a bar near an intersection. That early morning I found out something of myself that I never knew. Some guy asleep in the next set of bushes awoke exclaiming "Man, do you Snore" !.
During the concert I learned why one does not drink beer under a hot sun. Late in the evening the band, The Grateful Dead started Terrapin Station when I headed out. The semi tractor trailor containers were moved to allow for concert goers to exit. 1.) The first pickup to go by gave me a ride to the road. 2.) The second car to pass me within moments hitching gave me a ride to the train station. 3.) Within five minutes a train got me a ride to the Rahway Train Station. 4.) Within minutes a car gave me a ride towards Hazlewood Avenue. 5.) Within a minute a ride to my house, and the concert was still being broadcasted on the radio.
The next day we all met up to go back to the concert site to retrieve Ann's car.

Apparently James Taylor brother had a hard time from the audience the previous night.
So, he opened his portion of the program with the Beatles "A Little help from my Friends".
"What would you do if I sang out a tune?". Livingston was immediately booed in full force off the stage.
In my opinion, I think that he gave the audience exactly what they wanted, which is okay by me.

I actually touched the stage and was up close stage left for the entire show. I lost whoever I went with and ended up by this tough hippie type guy who threatened anyone and everyone who stood up in front of him. I was allowed to stand next to him as long as I kept lighting up. Of which I did not mind. So there we were, in boots, denim, long hair and standing in an area of yuppies who just sat where they were. He sang too, awfully along with most of the songs that night. Still I no mind.
Mom loved this story, tho' I did leave out the obvious parts, she did appreciate the singing part of the story.

I had an instamatic camera and knew to wait.
Tho' I did take pictures during the show.
I at least had photos to take for the Big Grand Finale of the show.

Also, this was Aerosmith's first performance together as a group after the break-up, new members to the band after several were last seen in the Joe Perry Project. This was a real treat for all of us.

FZ - 28th, this was the last show in America before heading off to Europe.
The band broke up in Europe all because of the drummer fighting with the bassist.
Never coming back to the states for the final leg of the bands' tour.
By this time the band was performing a ballet and two orchestra pieces.
It was a wonderful experience to watch this band grow musically.
A sad note. Matty & I had a quest as to which of us would see more Zappa performances than the other.
One day while he was gardening I walked up to him and said, "Well it looks like that I won".
I did not say it in a mean way, for Frank Zappa had passed away.
About two years later Matty formed a band called Dog Breath.
"Dog Breath is Better than No Breath at all".
I was asked to join, my contribution being Big Leg Emma.
There are about 40 hours of rehearsals on video tape.
We played one show in Carteret on a Good Friday, then broke up.
Later a reunion, at place in Highland Park.
An unforgettable performance with puke to go, all on secret video tape.

Went with Frank the Bass Player. Arrived to hear the final strains of Guns and Roses.
During the Scorpions performance I learned a lesson.
That the seats around row #23 in the first level above the field are in a "Drop Zone".
Being that anything tossed from the upper seats are going to land in this area.
Which is exactly what happened.
I was in lower heaven when a used condom from upper heaven landed next to me.
I saw someone in the front of the upper tier dump their vanilla shake onto those below.
A wave of trash being dumped from above ensued, from one end of the stadium to the other.
People below were running from their seats for cover.
Then the used condom was picked up with a paper wrapper around then tossed that overboard.
But I did hold onto a glass beer bottle from going overboard.

434.) U. 2.
Giants Stadium
August 11, 1992
3rd time seeing,
After the show was the infamous "hair-pulling" incident,
while driving to a turnpike toll booth.
000.) August 15, 1992, on a farm 20 miles above Bethel, New York.
This is not a concert, but maybe worth mentioning.
Every year about this time the Rainbow Family would host Woodstock reunions at their farm,
or at the concert site across the street. This time of the year would be of a pilgrimage for me.
Just to visit my parents and to get all muddied and everything. Though this was an exception.
The woman who owned the concert site decided that this year there would be no reunion concert.
She had in place two bulldozers in such a manner that blocked the road leading to the site.
Later that evening we would learn that the two dozers would later be torched.
Instead the Rainbow Family hosted the concert at a farm somewhere north of Bethel, not to far.
No one famous that I know of showed up, but it was opened to all.
After opening the show with three songs, Blue Suede Shoes being the third,
the host opened it up to those in attendance that early morning.
Me being the first to go on stage from those just waking up.
Strapping on the guitar I told him that I only have one song. He said that I have more.
No, I only have one. I introduced myself, explained that I could not find my written speech.
About environmental injustices and all that, this all while playing the intro to the song.
( A song that I promised that I would never take credit for writing.
A song that took almost twenty years to get done, through re-writes.
A song started out on an August 1974 day, while threatening to jump for joy,
while standing atop the roof of Dick Stewart's Chevy Impala.
I played it once on cable TV as a filler for my old environmental program, entitled -
The Union County Solid Waste TV Program.
Yes I had a video camera at the concert rolling for this one.
Maybe one day I will provide the lyrics, it is a traditional, cannot be copy righted.
I had promised that no money would ever be made from it.
It's basically a blues pattern, getting high, red-hot women, driving and it has in it -
part of the postman's motto in it to boot. But I digress. )
I said what I had to say, sang the song to about 500 in attendance and that was that.
Later those in attendance would tell me that I was the best thing that happened to this concert.

457.) Arlo Guthrie
with his son Abe Guthrie
Mount Tabor, New Jersey
June 6, 1998
Outside the venue, at the church that seats about 400 there were vending tables set up.
I knew the promoter of the show through an acquaintance at the time.
Aside from the ticket booth, soda and chips stand run by the locals,
there was the t-shirt, CD, bumpers stickers and seeds being sold by Arlo's people.
Now this church is next to a park, surrounded by the old style homes around it.
I look at a t-shirt, of the Great Litter Bug Incident.
It has on it the red micro van, the route taken to dump the garbage and all that.
I look at the shirt and say "So He Was a Litterbug, I Bust Litterbugs for a Living, I". ...
I never did get to finish what I was saying, because. ..........
I look up and there about ten feet away is Arlo Guthrie.
He's all standing there, looking up, making like he never heard me, ( la la la.)
Quite comical but I was almost embarrassed.
As he was going into the venue I did get to say something that I never meant it like that.
He indicated that he knew that I did not mean it that way.
Now ladies and gentlemen, when one attends an Arlo Guthrie concert. ......
there is absolutely no guarantee that he will perform the song that he's most noted for.
For Alice's Restaurant is a quite rather long song, it's not even guaranteed that Arlo,
will even perform it at on of his Thanksgiving Holiday concerts at Carnegie Hall.
Well readers, Arlo did perform the song much to our little audience's delight.
Then the promoter and a few others credited me and my gaff with being the reason.
For Alice's Restaurant was not on the set list.
Arlo just wound up being in the mood to give us all a treat.
Thanks Arlo if you ever get to read this.

Bethel, New York
August 15, 1999
There was a rumor that if any performer here went to the rival show of the Rainbow Family,
that they would not be paid for their performance.
I think that is why Country Joe was upset.
He may have went anyway.
Melanie was there with her entire family and others on stage.
She had the balls to open her show with Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze.
Tho' a bit more acoustic as she belted it out on her big white hollow body guitar.
It did blow us all away and we of course showed our appreciation.
The choir came out in full force for Lay Down the Candles.
Arlo seemed rather annoyed that he too was being threatened about performing next door.
I forgot his name, but David's son was the one he never knew he had.

At one point during Melanie's performance audience members were making requests.
Then came a lull, nothing, and a voice called out for "Purple Haze".
( Guess Who ??? ) ( One guess only )
A couple smirks, comments such as she'll never play that.
Melanie looks at her son, he looks at her, they turn around and...
and Blew Us Away.
Later when she was signing things I asked Melanie she played Purple Haze.

I have always wanted to see the man perform, though this is actually the second time I'm seeing him.

Two people from where I worked at the time went to this performance. One being me.
The other being the Guest of Honor Jack Sinagra. Who was and still is the Executive Vice President.
On a whim I purchased two tickets the day before, in the 11th row on the aisle from the stage.
Without telling her where we were going I told Sue to get dressed up.
After the show she told me that she would have gotten more dressed up.
That is because mostly everyone was in suits and gowns.
The old woman sitting next to Sue was in diamonds and a mink stole.
The two of them chit-chatted quite a bit.
Many elected officials that new me were there as well.
We had a great time.
The next work day I brought in an extra program for the VP's secretary.

A Review of the band names GWAR
The Nazi Priest came onstage with some individual, a believer of sorts who was promptly beheaded sometime during the opening song. The blood gushing forth from the recently beheaded individual was sprayed upon the audience with much delight. Then the Nazi Priest as cut up by two henchmen on stage. A few more songs and President Bush was brought on stage strapped to a gurney. He reminded us of his war on drugs, then his war on terrorism. Now he has a war on weather. He started to go on about Hurricane Katrina just then the henchmen started to disembowel him. One of which was trying to jump rope with the President's intestines tripping over them.
Vice-president Cheney came on stage saying "Out with the Bush and in with the Dick". Before he could go on any further he too was beheaded and the gushing blood was once more sprayed upon the eagerly waiting fans.
Before I go on let me say this, the blood and any other bodily fluid is just a dyed sugar water.
The band is actually doing a bit of humanitarian work raising millions of dollars for a charity. It's the Michael Jackson Sexual Endowment Fund and Michael himself came on stage with one of his babies. When asked to show everyone his new stuff, Michael opened his clothes to reveal that he has breasts and a penis enlargement to boot. Just that the attached penis part was a darker color that his own white self.
Later Sharon Osbourne came on stage with a miniature Ozzie under her arms. She was talking about "Clown Bands" like Kizz. Before she could go on the lead singer was already playing with her breast much to her delight and before they were chopped off thus spewing blood into the audience.
Sometime later a hunched creature came onstage with a trick or treat plastic pumpkin in claw. It was there for a while before a sword was thrust into its' upper jaw spewing green blood into the audience. This time I was hit, watching the trail of ooze come right at me. Later one of the strobe lights went on fire but was soon extinguish by a henchman.
Then the audience was calling out the name of the band's pet, a sort of mastodon creature. It too was killed and the green blood spewed everywhere. Later the lead's penis, oh I didn't mention this?. He has this rather large deformed dildo attached and it just spewed and spewed and spewed green fluids. Then a spewing machine was brought on stage and it spewed both red and green. The band GWAR is celebrating 20 years.
629.) The Buckinghams

Bullet For My Valentine - 4 man band, played 7:58 - 8pm, loud British metal.
Lacuna Coil - 6 piece band, male and female singer, two guitar, percussion problems, bassist problems as well.
In my opinion they could lose the girl, or make her stop her whining aka singing.
There were those in the audience crowd surfing.
Some chick DJ from 101.7 FM came on stage between sets and mumbled whatever it was.
Lights went down, Cover of the Rolling Stone was heard over the speakers.
Rob Zombie came onstage at 9:53 pm, three encores at 11:07 pm, over at 11:28 pm
While onstage it was madness. New guitarist, actually playing a Poison guitar lick, much to Rob's dislikes.
639.) DJ Surge and some rapper.
The Pussycat Dolls.
At the House of Blues, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Sponsored by The Source, 98.5 FM
April 17, 2006
The show was suppose to start at 8:30, but was in progress before that with the DJ and the rapper.
The kids liked it, I went cuz I had extra money, otherwise I never would have went.
It was almost not worth it unless I needed to vindicate myself when stating. ...
That the Pussycat Dolls Suck !!!
The curtain closed on the rappers at 8:58 pm. Later a stagehand came out laying out set lists on the stage.
He got a couple of screams from the kids downstairs.
Upstairs there were some, but mainly adults and lots of lesbians.
Downstairs the kids noticed some star of an MTV show was in the control booth.
The Pussycat Dolls came onstage at 9:30 pm. No band, just a sound system.
The stage was basically a setting for a strip joint as the woman showed the audience what they got.
Songs included Don't you wish you're girlfriend was hot like me, Fever, and I don't need a man.
Three of them later changed into black and silver encrusted teddies.
They brought onstage three audience members to show us what they got.
They were David from London, a Courtney and an Allison the youngest and the overhaul winner.
At 10:04 pm the leader says that they're going to do one more song.
A special Myrtle Beach remix of Don't you wish you girlfriend was hot like me.
By 10:09 pm the band was off stage.
No calls for encores were heard.

Arrived just at 9pm, show time, never having my ticket scanned.
HTH from Tampa, Florida is a power trio of maybe the oldest being 23.
Their set list included - Where do they go, Led Zeppelin's Good Times Bad Times,
Don't stop a riot, and The electric Chair. A Gibson SG was used all throughout the performance.

His set list list included Between the Ecstasy and the Madness, Hannah, What's your name,
Day of the Eagle, Bridge of Sighs, Victims of the Fury, Stitch in Time, Another time another place,
and A little bit of sympathy. Encores at 11:10 pm were Lady Luck and We Were Spellbound.

July 2, 2006
Two tickets for the price of one.
Tom is an original keyboardist from the Greatful Dead.
He performed a part of Dark Star and other songs.
One song he did was the tune Wear Wolves of London with lyrics from a Bob Dylan song.
I and others were howling at the appropriate time in this somewhat strange song.
He also did Cotton Fields with a whole new set of lyrics about his Las Vegas upbringing.
Finishing his set with the theme to Sponge Bob Square Pants. I knew the response to this song.
Later Tom was on the dance floor and I said to him Hey it's Johnny Winters older brother.
As I thanked him for the Sponge Bob song. He replied Hey ya gotta get back to the basics.
Country Joe actually took a phone call on stage.
It also appears that Paul Kantner and the young woman lead singer got something going on.
647.) Huck John
Ted Nugent
House of Blues
July 3, 2006
Ted is somewhat a Tool of the Republican Party. He did a lot of preaching on their behalf.
He bragged that he's been clean and sober for 57 years, yet we all can go ahead and drink.
Onstage on one side was an anti-aircraft machine gun, the other side a machine gun.
Then he showed us Old Betsy, another machine gun. Ted cussed a lot when talking Republican politics. He would ask the audience; "Got any questions? Fuck you."
Last time he asked that question the audience went "Fuck You".
His power trio opened with the Star Spangled Banner.
Last song before the encore was Cat Scratch Fever, what mostly everyone was waiting for.
Some of us and others were waiting to get out of there.
A somewhat packed show for nearly two hours., six seats in the expensive pews were empty all evening. Hey Ted, ya got any questions? FUCK YOU !!!

Well, Louie the drummer of the band obliged. The band suggested not signing the album as it was in very good condition. So they signed the CD, to Susan Missed You.
Later I called her, yes that was a band member. Then telling her that I am never going to be a normal person ever again. The Lord is going to make certain of that. …

The song "Oh, In The Sky was introduced by Dweezil as being a song that his dad
performed for a TV show in Europe during his first tour there. He said that his dad,
Frank, probably performed it just to "Aggravate" somebody.
Because of that explanation, we all probably appreciated the song all the more.
Doors opened at 7:00 pm, show to start at 8:00 pm. So I was not going in right away.
Hadn't been in Asbury Park for a long time, so I went for a stroll on the boardwalk.
Then back at the Stone Pony, waiting outside. Someone had an extra ticket, and they
gave it to me. Since I already had a ticket, I said that I'd give it to someone who really
needed it.
The show started at 8:15 pm, ended at 10:59 pm. I was still outside when two from the
Stone Pony went running to the boardwalk. When a bouncer said that the show starts in
2 minutes. That was at 8:12 pm. I went in 2 minutes later.
tickets to a show. This time I had the chance to give it to some guy who appeared as I
was maybe 40 years ago. The look of surprise in his eyes reminded me of myself
in the same way. I am glad to have passed it on. Hoping one day he will do the same ...

Intros, Leave, When you’re staring at a mountain,
Beyond amazed, Looks like
Jesus, Say Amen,
Because of you, I’ll never
walk alone, This storm,
Oh what a Saviour, For God so
loved, King Jesus.

List; He’s still the same, The ground is leveled at Calvary,
Go Tell One, King Jesus is
coming, And He loves us so,
New day same God, I lean of You,
I’ll Praise You, God is so good
All is well, I can’t wait to be
there, on the road to Emmaus,
I’m in the Glory Land way, He
didn’t stay dead and He won’t stay gone,
Jesus Love Me – with audience, I
love you this much, Faithful,
Jesus is all I need.
842.)
