Hey Bart,

I was privileged enough to have seen Queen like 77 or 78 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
I would have to dig out the memories box for the exact date.

My Mom worked at the venue backstage so I was invited back to meet some really
nice boys, Freddie and the gang.  I was a kid but still they were really cool guys.

Still probably the coolest thing my Mom ever did, although that list is quite long.

I saw Queen in 1975 too.
At the Santa Monica civic center.

I loved it, but I loved them then.

..(crosstalk)  lo about the time punk rock emerged. I remember
precisely the moment my musical preferences changed:

I was in the Navy stationed at NAS Norfolk and I bought two albums one day - Foreigner and Pablo Cruise.
I had read great reviews of both and when I put them on... well, they both sucked. Real bad.
Then all of the sudden I discovered Patti Smith, the Talking Heads and Elvis Costello.

I had been a hard core music freak since I can remember.
The very first concert I saw was Led Zeppelin at the LA forum on their Stairway to Heaven tour in 72.

They did 6 encores.
I saw everybody in the 70s. Everybody played LA.

But after 1977 dinosaur rock never quite sounded the same.

Regards,
