What bands did he see?

He saw a lot of good stuff. He grew up in northern New Jersey, very close to New York city. So he could get to the Fillmore east really easily and see whoever was there. He never saw the huge bands,except for the Who and the Grateful Dead, but he was really into things like Jethro Tull, Procol Harum, Traffic, Moby Grape,Ten Years After, and Argent. He saw the Dead one time when they played a 10:30 show until the place closed at 5 in the morning, and then they set up in the street outside and played until the cops busted it up.

He also loves the Syd Barret Pink Floyd stuff, but he doesn't care much for the later stuff.

i have to say you all forgot one of the best classic rock bands ever STYX there show this summer was far suppior to lynard skynard but hey dont get me wrong they ruled just styx is the ****e

Awesome I like all Floyd except their newer stuff after Waters left(he just turned 60.)

That Garcia sure liked to play.

I may be banned tonight so farewell. :(

Neil Young foreverrrrrr. (I'll be back)

Yea same here. Why might you be banned?

[QUOTE=Livewired]I may be banned tonight so farewell. :(

For what?

Oh just alot people said I would.

Spamming. :wave:

Meh, you wont get banned for spamming. If you do, i'm umm, gonna do something, like, umm, really bad! :angry:

Ha you shouldn't do that so much.

But anyways, does anyone like Traffic? I think Stevie Winwood is amazing, that guy played everything. Dear Mr. Fantasy is a great song also.

Yea then they'll know who they're messing with.

Give an example of a band that would be nothing without a certain member.

(New Game)

can it be a past band?<--- nm, duh.
black sabbath-w/o ozzy

Jimi Hendrix Experience. Though a Mitch Mitchell experince might not be a bad listen.

Van Halen without eddie.

Grateful dead without garcia.

I'd give it a try. He's a spectacular snare player.

Fleetwood Mac without the Americans.

No, seriously, it was only after the former frontman left and Stevie Nicks and what's his face (can't think, it's late) joined that they became wildly popular and successful.

Rush without that guy who sings really high. It just wouldn't be the same. What's his name again?

Geddy Lee

Do you think Pink Floyd would have died out after Barrett left and if Gilmour didnt join?

Fleetwood Mac is awesome. I'll agree.


Ac/dc without Malcom. They could find somebody to solo like angus but Malcom writes most of the guitar parts.

Generalization: Any Eric Clapton project without Eric Clapton, such as Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, Eric Clapton (just kidding... or am I?)

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Do you think Pink Floyd would have died out after Barrett left and if Gilmour didnt join?[/QUOTE]
It's possible. Didn't he have a mental breakdown, and every song since then (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a prime example) was about him?

[QUOTE=SpectrumGuitarist]Generalization: Any Eric Clapton project without Eric Clapton, such as Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, Eric Clapton (just kidding... or am I?)[/QUOTE]

I was waiting for someone to say Clapton :thumb:

Queen w/o Freddie Mercury
Aerosmith w/o Steven Tyler
Bon Jovi w/o Bon Jovi
The Doors w/o Jim Morrison

Do you now realize how many bands would've never been without certain members?

I now have more respect for those people.

Gee how bout the Doors without Jim Morrison.

Edit: Crap I didn't read all of the lists above.

[QUOTE]Grateful dead without garcia.[/QUOTE]

Not true, they are still quite a band ;)
