Saw Jethro Tull with Fleetwood Mac at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver 55 years ago on August 11, 1970.
Fabulous show, although we did have a very long night due to those darn microdots.
As long as we're reviewing ancient history, here is a concert I attended in July, 1974 in New Haven, Connecticut:
David Bowie performed at the Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut, on 14 July 1974. It was the 27th date of the Diamond Dogs Tour, which had kicked off in Montreal on 14 June. The musical director was Michael Kamen, who also played electric piano, Moog synthesizer, and oboe. Earl Slick played guitar, and Mike Garson was on piano and Mellotron. The bass guitarist was Herbie Flowers, and the drummer was Tony Newman. The backing singers were Geoff MacCormack (billed as Warren Peace) and Gui Andrisano. The line-up was completed by David Sanborn and Richard Grando on saxophone and flute, and percussionist Pablo Rosario. - Lastly, my date was a beautiful woman who was a dancer in the Alvin Ailey Dance Company in NYC.
