July 13-14 Toronto Island. Bands included -- John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy and Jr. Wells, Willie Dixon, Luther Allison, the legendary Son House and many more...what can you say... look at the line up...it was great!
First time a quad system had ever been put in the gardens...(Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens). The looks of peoples' faces after the show was one of ...what the hell did we just witness! David Gilmour said he wished he could have experienced that. To just walk in and sit down and experience Dark Side for the first time, all put together.
Was this the concert that was supposed to be The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and they couldn't make it for some reason? In stead Rush came out, fresh with their 1st album. If that's the same one, the first song was 'finding my way'. Rush blew the place apart!! unreal.
I remember it well. The crowd was pretty big, but not overwhelming. The whole crowd got excited and did not want to wait any longer to get in and trampled the fence. The police sprayed tear gas to try to stop people but it did not do anything but cause the crowd to push harder. The seating was floor only. I sat very close to the stage and love the concert. People were so stoned that there were very few people standing. Everyone sitting on their blankets smoking hashish and drinking Matuse wine. It was very mellow but Zepplin Rock and did a great encore. Long time ago but wow.
I'm pretty sure I attended this concert where Leon Russel was the opening act. We sat where first base would be. Great spot. I had never heard of Leon but for me he really stole the show.
MIKE PINDER HANDED ME HIS MOTEL KEY WHILE I WAS TALKING TO DANNY GOLDBERG. I WENT TO THE HOLIDAY INN WITH MY FRIEND AND WE ATE MEXICAN FOOD WITH THEM. MIKE WENT WITH ME TO TALK THE FRIEND HOME AND WE DROVE AROUND AND TALKED. HE WAS THE SWEETEST MAN.
THIS IS THE CONCERT WHERE I WAITED OUTSIDE AND ROBERT CAME OUT FOR ME. THEY TOOK ME TO THE HOTEL AND JOHN BONHAM CARRIED MY MAKEUP CASE FOR ME. I TOOK A BATH IN ROBERT'S ROOM. THEN IT ALL TURNED BAD.
