<p>The best concert was when War opened for the Commodores!</p>
<p>If we are turning this into best big college concert, 1974 at Fulton County Coliseum, Atlanta , Georgia- Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, and Grinderswitch. The Georgia Jam. </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it was on the first one (???) but not 100% sure.</p>
<p>Fleetwood Mac album, I think. It has actually been released by them on several albums, but I think that was the first. I am now listening to it on my ipod, thanks guys :). Also downloaded Tapestry and some JT…isn’t modern technology a marvel? A favorite from law school days, “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest. I listened to it all the time my summer in New Mexico and now when I hear it, I just think of those glorious southwestern sunsets (and moons, of course) against the mesas…</p>
<p>SBmom,</p>
<p>I say we are pretty much the same gen.</p>
<p>I see RL Jones in your HS list, have you heard her latest one?
It’s very nice.
Or, Elvis’ latest?</p>
<p>In high-school, Joni was my ideal of a perfect woman: wild, beautiful and talented. Everytime I hear her I’m a teenager again.</p>
<p>Jefferson Airplane!!!
Also, in the late 60’s Down South - the Swingin’ Medallions for beach music…and the “Hot Nuts” or Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs for frat parties!
Am I old or what!!</p>
<p>curmudgeon, Could Little Feat come?</p>
<p>archermom,</p>
<p>I love War too. </p>
<p>And I forgot: Stevie Wonder, Rolling Stones, Grand Master Flash, & Chaka Khan.</p>
<p>Sightly after college: They Might Be Giants was a fave. Anyone ever do their dial-a-song?</p>
<p>woodwork,</p>
<p>I have not checked those out; I should do that! I can have my kids download things for me; I just give them menus.</p>
<p>SBmom,
My husband and some friends saw Little Feat in concert … last fall at a place called Penn’s Peak here in PA! They said they were great. So weird that bands that we loved as teenagers are touring again, but instead of slightly older cute guys, now they’re just old guys.</p>
<p>The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Tom Rush, Judy Collins, Leonard Cohen, Laura Nyro…uh oh, I’m dating mysef.</p>
<p>I still listen to Judy Collin’s 5th Alubum all the time.</p>
<p>It really was a little before my time, college-wise, but I had older siblings and grew up listening to the Kingston Trio (older brother) and Judy Collins (older sister).</p>
<p>And who remembers Phil Ochs (Small Circle of Friends)?</p>
<p>I do, and “There But For Fortune>”</p>
<p>SBmom,
Ah, yes, Stevie. I’ve been trying to replace my old LPs—yes, I still have those in the garage!—with the CD versions. Within the last 3 months, found the Best of the Midniters, Bobby Darin’s Greatest Hits, and also hits from Madonna. I never appreciated her music until now…but, better late than never.</p>
<p>I just saw part of a Saturday Night Live retrospective the other night
remember the Blues Brothers ?</p>
<p>Little Feat was too cool. I also loved all the ladies. Emmylou, and Joni (Screeching “Freeman in Paris” while being uh… a free man in paris on the Champs d’ Elysses was a high point in my life), and Judy, and Joan but most of all -Linda Ronstadt, especially on that earlier stuff, like that Zevon tune about Echo park-“Carmelita-hold me tighter-er-er, I think I’m sinking downnnnn,…” . </p>
<p>As a close and dear friend described my personal Pink and Blue , “Music to Commit Suicide By”- what a buffoon. And whoever mentioned Neil’s “Rust Never Sleeps”-“Powderfinger”, “Zuma” That’s some serious …uuhhh -stuff.</p>
<p>Y’all really need to stop talking about this music. I’m over here trashing the house looking for Nacho cheese Doritos and waiting for my hair to grow back out.</p>
<p>A studio and backup musician who has played with Little Feat/Bonnie Raitt et al, had a daughter who was a classmate of my oldest.
It was great fun to see Bonnie Raitt at Womad and to hear her call him up on stage.</p>
<p>Most of the music that got me through college and gradschool has already been mentioned above. I didn’t see anyone mention John Sebastian (with and without the Lovin’Spoonful) or Seals & Crofts. I met them at a HS concert, and Dash Crofts gave me his guitar pick when I told him I played! Too cool!!! </p>
<p>I played mostly folk stuff (Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul and Mary type stuff). Unfortunately, the person I played with died of leukemia in college. I put the guitar away for many years.</p>
<p>The songs that were played incessantly in our dorm were “Roundabout” by Yes, and “Moondance” by Van Morrison (I still sing along whenever I hear it). </p>
<p>Kinsasa-- I LOVED Laura Nyro!!! She wasn’t well known outside of NY when I was in school. There was also a group that was sponsored by Peter Yarrow ( of Peter,Paul and Mary) that I really liked. They probably didn’t put out more than an album or 2, and I am blanking on their name… though I can sorta hear their harmonics in my head. Does anyone know who I am talking about?? The albums are buried in the basement somewhere… Please help…</p>
<p>Oh… I forgot to mention… one person played Neil Diamond incessantly in college. We usually closed the door.</p>
<p>Alessi!! that was the name of the group sponsored by Peter Yarrow. Anyone ever heard their stuff??? Really quite good. Unfortunatley, they probably only sold like 2 albums, and I bought one of them.</p>
<p>note-- I think their official name might have been the Alessi Brothers… Ring any bells?.. anyone???</p>
<p>Oops-- how could I have forgotten Richie Havens???</p>
