Re: The Band
A big Band fan. During the summer of '76 (I was 11) I saw my first three concerts. One was McCartney and Wings at the Forum. Another was KISS, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and Uriah Heep at Anaheim Stadium. The third was the Band at the Greek. The Band was the only group I wasn't familiar with. The person that took me (a cousin) was a metalhead. I assumed the Band must be a metal band, like KISS or Alice Cooper. Boy, was I wrong. They were great. In the years since, I tried to see them whenever they came to town. I saw Danko and Hudson twice (once with Gary Busey), once as the Band with four original members (supporting CSN), once as the Band with three originals (Richard had passed) and once when Garth, Rick and Levon played with Ringo's All-Starr Band. A truly unique collection of musical talent.
