Thanks Seth. Saw them in concert back in late 70’s or early 80’s. Think they were opening for The Rolling Stones Some Girls tour. Their claim to fame, besides their hits, was they are the band that in concert, sounded most like their albums. Side note: one of the friends I went with said look at the bassist. He just stood there playing not moving at all, unlike in video. Friend said he must be the most bored bassist in rock. Also, I think the clean shaven guitarist was from MIT, which was said why their sound in concert was so good. Could be mistaking them for another band on that though. Good memories.

BOSTON... classic rock at its finest! Some TRIUMPH, anyone? First time ever saw/heard a drummer doing lead singing!

And OMG, let’s not forget the shag haircuts. Arguably the forerunner of the mullet. 🙂

That would be an awesome concert to see. They look like they're having a great time up on stage.

Yeah, and guys still had the seventies porn stashes, except back then they were just mustaches. And yeah that was a good concert. The Stones really weren’t that awesome like I expected. I knew people who saw their previous concert tour and later saw their next tour and saw Some Girls tour. They said SG tour was not their best. Hell, I saw Jager practicing for their present tour after health problem, and he looks more energetic than he did at SG. Still I can say I saw the Stones and that ain’t nothing.

For what it's worth I saw ABBA in concert...twice. The first time was in '74 at a local community center, before they won the Eurovison contest, the second time was in 78 after they released "ABBA: The Album"- in a MUCH larger venue. Eagle is still my favorite song.
