It's been a long time since I've seen it. I'll probably tear up at the first clanging guitar chord. Did it all really happen? Been so long.

tie ins to Howlin' Wolf, James Brown, Otis Redding

I had a hell of a lot of fun back then. I was 11 when The Beatles landed. Became a serious Who fan.

I've always believed there's great music in each generation, so seen lots of performers, bands over decades. Seen several favorites many times.
Great music & singing, live shows, fantastic times!
