I definitely watched Don Kirschner's Rock Concert or Midnight Special for the bigger bands but to see the Punk and New Wave bands I was more into it was SNL and Friday's that featured them. Seeing the Clash live was mind blowing!

Yeah, I grew up on the "classic rock". It's why I tried to be a "rock star". Well, that and the chicks. LOL I can't name a favorite, but I will say this. San Antonio was a hot spot for concerts back then, due to two dj's that worked to get the bands down here. We had all of them here and they were cheap back then. Like 9 bucks to go see a concert with three bands. haha. Saw AC/DC so many times I lost count, black sabbath, ufo, rush, ...ok.. the list could go on forever. Suffice to say, we rarely missed a concert. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Slash or Saul...Is a "player's player"...As in he can do it all...He proved that to me when he did all of the guitar parts in the "Ray" sound track...Personally picked by the genius Ray Charles himself...Axel is a douche...No regard for his lame ass what so ever...Have fun at the show and share any pictures you might take...Midnight Special and D.C.'s Rock Concert were always taped by me for later viewing...I was gigging quite regular at that point in time so I was kinda busy on the weekends...There was another gem of late night music hosted by David Sanborn called Night Music...All styles of music with some very interesting collaborations...It came on after SNL for a few years...Taped those too...Now one of these days I have to transfer all those VHS tapes to digital...For further enjoyment...Blog and let Blog...I'll be in the Garage...

The Who ( I saw the first live performance of TOMMY as the Boston Teaparty!!) The Stones ( OMG in the Old Boston Garden) The Grateful Dead ( cant tell you how often- the entire office was in tears the day Garcia died) Jethro Tull Velvet Underground Yep I did see some great shows live!!!!!!!!!!!! (Virtual Symposium Group) use Virtual Symposium Group

During that time the shows were on this kid was out an about from the start of the weekend until the wee hours of Sunday night...never turned on the tube! I have a lot of favorite groups and none stand our more than another for me...been to a lot of concerts in my time. The musics I grew up with are wildly varied..Stuff on Mich Miller, step mother's country, dad's bagpipe music, grandmother's folk music, cartoon classical, LOL which still defines my taste in music,,,the first few 8 tracks I bought for my car are; Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid both by Black Sabbath, a James Taylor and Neil Diamond album…early 1970s LOL Currently I have 3 Sabbath albums in the CD player... also The best of War and a Kansas album. What a mix.....

Love that Rock N' Roll!!

I saw Rush so many times. Use to play most of their stuff and could sing it all. I'm not as stretched vocally anymore , but I can still pull off a pretty good acoustic rendition and sing Closer to the Heart. Love that song. And yeah the professor, Peart. really has no rivals on the drums in my opinion. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Oh, here's one no one ever seems to remember or heard of...Did you ever listen to any Budgie. Breadfan is my favorite they did. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Hi Joy. thanks for the journey back in time... Those shows were great... So for all you Classic Rock lovers : Who is your favourite band from the era? you know it is hard to pinpoint a fave band, let alone an era... I don't like boundaries on my choices... it feels restrictive... however, if push came to shove... I would have to choose "The Beatles"... my older brother introduced me to their sound... Which Classic Rock band have you been Pumped to see live and was it worth the price of admission for you? The Beatles... Only got to see Paul McCartney and Wings... Did you watch Don Kirschner's Rock Concert or Midnight Special? Yes... both... sweet memories... but, I also watched the Soul train on Saturdays... made me think of this... The Beatles - "Rock and Roll Music" Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me I've got no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And lose the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony That's why I go for that that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks So she can hear my man awail a sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican' That's why… To leave private messages, please use my confidential mailbox at my blog: Good luck!!!

Wow! Guns and Roses without Axle Rose is like having a puppy without the shit! He's the reason I never liked Guns and Roses! I did used to watch Midnight Special, but I was so high back then I couldn't tell you who I saw.

I am NOT to young to have watched those shows, in fact am betting I saw 75% of them 1st time they aired. And I agree classic rock is my preference to listen to, AND I was a singer in a country band for 14 years, BUT, all of rock owes dues to country music, as has been acknowledged by most rockers, and without Country, orchestra would have probably segued into techno and rock wouldnt be known at all

I never saw the Midnight Special when it originally aired. I did see what it was in an infomercial. Cream and CCR from the '60's and Styx and Steely Dan from the '70's are my favorites. Funny women are incredibly sexy!

Oh I would love love love to see that video!!! Perhaps when you come to the peg you can do a live rendition?

Hello Joy I didn't get to watch the two shows all that much back then most of the time I had to work. I did like CCR and have a CD with their song still will listen to it. Butch
