I know this is a bit of an old thread-but then I'm an old geezer. My wife has seen John many times since she was a teen age. I had gone and seen Walter Trout at a small club in Tacoma (JazzBones). Then some time later we went to see him at a smll town sputh of Mount Rainier in Wa. State. After Mayall's band played, during the rest of the show, he had a small booth set up at the back of the building where he was selling CDs. I wlked back to buy a CD for my wife and got to talk with him. I mentioned that I hads recently seen a friend of his at a small club in Tacoma, Wa. he asked who it was, and I said Walter Trout. He smilede and opened the CD and pointed to a song on the song list, and said...Ah, Walter. He wrote this song, and pointed to it.I talked to him for a short time, and he seemed really nice.
I've seen some great bands over the years.The most memorable was when I saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Seattle Center Colleseum when I was in 7th grade. That would put it about 1967-1968.
The Allman Brothers (when Duanne was still alive),Johnny Winter (another favorite of mine),Mountain,Wishbone Ash,Billy Cobham and Spectrum,Robin Trower (twice), Black Sabbath, Savoy Brown,etc...
