What this city was built on.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

I thought this was the new Toyota tagline

Early seventies.  I was there, too.
Also got to see Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Uriah Heep and more.
ZZ Top used to come up from south Texas very early and played in the Cain's, if memory serves.  They weren't big name then, just a really good "garage type band".  Only really good.
Alice did the guillotine thing.
And Johnny Winter - loudest concert in the world.
And Tina Turner at a little place down on 61st (?) around Sheridan that didn't last long.

If I can remember through the drug-crazed haze, I seem to remember Ozzy trying to come to town and was banned - as is done by book banning and burning groups.  Flashback to that Kevin Bacon "can't dance in our town" movie...

And Jimi Hendrix.  Best concert.

All in the Civic Center- before the city let it decay to justify the Crashship.

Anyone else heard that Edgar Winter lives near Turley?

Johnny's brother lives at Turley?  Strange.  Hard to imagine, but stranger things have happened.  Like Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.

Johnny Winter was the second show ever played at the Performing Arts Center.

My tickets were second row center.

Speaking of Craig Chaquico, I've seen him twice in the last few years hear in Phoenix, one time on his doing his solo tour openning for Russ Freeman and the Rippington's, and another tour that was Craig and Russ touirng for an alblum they did together. The highlight was the two of them doing "Find Your Way Back" acoustically with Craig plaing a 12 string and Russ playing a 6 string. Tried to find it on youtube and this was all I could find that was decent sound quality, apparently it was used on The Weather Channel......

I think I missed PAC concert.  Earlier one was at Civic Center.
Good s***, Maynard!

Here's the real deal....CC was a fill in despite a very good guitarist.

This features the great  J. Gracias and David Crosby from Blows Against the Empire (timely name for those of you Teahadists)

As far as I can find, Johnny lives in Connecticut and Edgar in California, but had heard Edgar own some auto salvage business north of town (some specialty place like BikerFox)
