Ronnie Laine benefit concerts in Dallas (Clapton, Page, Cocker, Beck, Rogers), c. 1983
I’ve been to concerts by the Stones, Who, Bowie, Clapton, Grateful Dead, etc., all in their heydays , but hearing fantastic musicians up close in a (smoky, back then) club is usually far more fun, with better sound, than any stadium show could be.
