I'm not one to live in the past. Actually, I advise people NOT to do that, cuz the past usually seems better than it actually was. HOWEVER, since my past is longer then my future will probably be (unless I live to be over 90) I thought I'd share a mix of some of the artists that I was able to experience live (and isn't LIVE the BEST way to experience music?).
Here are some things to remember:
When I saw these bands, they were pretty much in their prime (no grey hair, they HAD hair, no hip replacements, no oxygen tanks, no hearing aids oh yeah....they weren't dead)
Another interesting fact is that the crowd actually had seats and SAT for most of the show (how boring!) If you jumped up to move to your favorite song, you ususally got yelled at to SIT DOWN by someone behind you. Concerts, as they were called, were very different from the Shows of today, where crowd particiation is a big part of the overall experience. They were still fun and excieting and such a part of my youth. SO BUST OUT YOUR LIGHTERS AND YELL FOR AN ENCORE!!! Enjoy....

Track 1 from Crosby, Stills & Nash
Length: 00:07:25
Year: 1969
Track Description:
Nice harmonies, but still very rockable. This song has that part in Spanish that everyone always mumbles thru. Just picture a couple thousand stoners trying to sing in a foreign language (that part still makes me smile). I always hear this song in the grocery store. Do you think in 30 years they'll be playing 50 cent and snoop-dog at the market?

It was pretty fantabulous!

Ta ta ta talk about the BEST wedding present ever!!!! Thanks for the tickets! 26 years ago we waited for the guards to pass by underneath us, jumped down to the floor level and ran up to the front of the stage.... There they were in all their glory...Roger Daltrey swinging his microphone, Pete Townshend doing his windmill strum ... Good times!!! The Who could rock!! Most of thier music is pretty timeless. Well, I'll end my mix in that blaze of glory (no pun intended). Hope you liked it... Remember... the years fly by... so make them count :)
