OK, how can I not respond to this thread? Beatles, 1964, Cow Palace in San Francisco: all screaming and camera flashes and craziness, The Doors at a roller rink in Santa Clara: the mayor banned them after Morrison’s performance (like they cared!), Pink Floyd at Winterland in SF, 1972: close enough to see David Gilmour’s arm muscles ripple as he played the guitar. “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”, “Echoes”, a tantalizing taste of “Dark Side”, “Tubular Bells”? Yes. Mike Oldfield. Another guitar great.
Hundreds of groups over the years, but I miss Janis the most. I cry when I remember her performances of “Ball and Chain” and “Summertime.” No singer since then has ever moved me like she did. I often wish I could time-travel back to one of her shows so I could share the experience with my husband who never saw her live.
