Before They Were Famous


What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.

Don't know if this qualifies, but I saw Elton John in Sept, 1972 play solo in a small College Auditorium in the mid-west to a bunch of really tuned out WASP type preppies. He gave a GREAT!! Rocking performance, shoes on the keys, everything. I believe it was shortly after this he started attracting attention.
