Way back in the day, we lived, breathed and totally immersed ourselves in music. I grew up in Los Angeles, and we had a lot of garage bands back in the mid 70's long before grunge came about.
Los Angeles was the place to be for up and coming bands, almost like NY was for Broadway. I saw a lot of underground post punk bands live. Ramones was one of my favorites.
I was never raised around country except what my father listened to... Hank Williams. Which always brings back memories. Personally, I'm not into the new "hot new country" sound.
When I went to college in Lawrence, KS, I took up the keyboards. Lawrence, KS has a great live music scene. I love the blues.
The Who's Quadrophenia is a masterpiece in my opinion.
Oh yeah, I saw Carlos Santana three times. Once at Cal Jam II with approximately 280,000 people. Carlos has always been a great live performer.
The phrase GABBA GABBA HEY is included in the song "Pinhead" by The Ramones, which contained the lyrics: "Gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you, one of us". The song ends with: "Gabba gabba hey, gabba gabba hey!....".
I saw the Ramones in 79 at the Long Beach Arena with Black Sabbath when Ozzie was still singing with Sabbath. The Ramones got booed off the stage after 4 or 5 songs. People were doing "the pogo".
But back to musicians, the performer with the most stage presence was Johnny Lydon aka Johnny Rotten. I saw him with Public Image.

You've seen some good shows!
I've seen Ozzy twice... Post Black Sabbath,
but during the first 2 album tours, so I got to
see Randy Rhodes twice. HE WAS GOOD!
Would have been cool to see the Ramones,
but I wasn't into the New Wave yet back then.
Back in the late 70's, a friend of ours snuck a 35 mm canon with a giant zoom lens into a The Who concert (in an army coat) and came back with some awesome pics.
Those were the good old days. The only keyboards I hit these days are my lousy pc keyboards. I also loved Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
My first concert was ELO when I was 14. Great way to start my concert-going years.
Yeah, "The Ox" was WAY underrated.
He was awesome...
It's too bad our cr*ppy stereos back then
didn't reproduce bass like they do today.
I also wouldn't mind owning that Alembic he had.
I don't think I've ever seen a bassist play with all of the fingers on his plucking hand the way Entwistle did. His playing was effortless. Check out this isolation from what was obviously a studio.
