Man what I would give to have been able to be at the OP’s show and this Allman Bros show.


The Allman Brothers show was at UF's band shell in '82 I think. Great show. FTR, Dickey Betts and RVZ were good friends.

I can almost guarantee you that no swinging dick or hot chick from that concert voted for making the confederate flag illegal. No one voted for mass immigration.

You actually sound like the type that would burn the confederate flag and vote for mass immigration.

Because you’re an obvious sloppy wet miserable vagina.

I don’t care who the frick you think you are.

Girl to boy ratio in that video, Free Bird, had to be 3-1. If you didn't get some poon there that day, you were a fig.

I watched as thousands of blondes and brunettes happily danced before a massive Confederate flag… in Northern California… and puzzled on the question “How did we get from there to here?”. The answer is one of irony, because the seeds of that destruction were already planted years before this was recorded. Indeed, one of the first major harbingers of decline had already happened; the previous year, 1976, the white birthrate had dropped below replacement level for the first time. The first mass American HIV infections were already taking hold across the Bay, not 20 miles from where this concert was filmed. Ill winds that would wipe away what we loved had already blown in. Its just that no one knew it yet.

I lived in Pasadena in the late 70’s. Happiest time of my young life. It seemed the very air was electric. There was just something special about the place at that time. Everyone wanted to be there. I hated leaving. Hated it.

Not a tatted, blue-haired, pierced fatty in sight.


Good times, good times.

Saw them at JFK in Philly that summer. Still the greatest concert I ever went to.

IMO, this was the single greatest live musical performance in the history of mankind. Keep in mind what you hear in that video comes from nothing more than musical instruments, microphones, amplifiers, and pure God-given musical talent.


I agree - i think the only other one that could come close would be Queen at Live Aid.

It seems to me that people who lived there at that time were more genuine and chill. It wasn’t completely associated with being a place that people wanted to move to for the sole purpose of becoming rich and famous like it is now.
