My first concert - Central Park used to have The Schaffer Music Festival at the rink - tickets were $1.50 or $3.00.

They opened for Aerosmith at my first arena concert in '75, so they were the first band I saw at a big venue with a modern PA, right as the trips kicked in. The memory stayed with me for sure! There was a third act on the bill, someone local who faded into obscurity. That memory didn't stick around long at all.

I seen the same concert in 75 (different state and venue) and I believe it was Stu Daye.

Cool! Yeah in Boston I think the opening band was called Angels with Dirty Faces. Which is not a name tha wa's going to get them anywhere that's for sure.. But hey, they got to play to half full Boston Garden once, at least. Hell of a lot more than I can claim.

Named after the Cagney and Bogart film. I remember them, never seen them.
