JJ was a singer/songwriter/guitarist who had a style that was pretty hard to define, I guess some combination of blues, rockabilly, and country rock? I have seen it described as the "Tulsa Sound".
There is a tribute album that Clapton put together called The Breeze with a all star group headlining various songs. Oddly my favorite is "Songbird" performed by Willie Nelson. Petty, John Mayer, Knoffler were three of the artists I remember off the top of my head.
Saw both 3DN and Chicago at the same time you did since I was freshman in 70. Saw both in the past 3 years at a great venue in Paducah, KY called the Carson Center for the Performing Arts. They look a little older but the sound is still great.
Saw Clapton a few years back at what is now Klipsch in Indy. Third row back, dead center....great tickets and Clapton was absolutely great.
Yes he usually is. I was there with my son. I've seen Clapton in most of his various stages after Cream. I can say about the comment above not saying anything he usually doesn't. All he has ever wanted to do is be a sideman and play his guitar. His autobiography is a fabulous read.
Jethro Tull at Elliot in mid 70's, had tests the next day, they are one of my all time faves. Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust years. The other day I bought a DVD of Bowie done in Dublin from 2003, it's amazing.
I like TP alot some people I run in to don't care for him. Saw him last year w/ Steve Winwood opening for him, was a great show. What bothers me about ticket prices are the fees. This past Oct. saw Anderson,Wakeman, and Rabin. I got third row seats at $79 but the fees were $12 a ticket and bought them at box office.
Nirvana would be #2 on my list. Some buddies saw them at Hara Arena in Dayton circa 1992, and I couldn't make it. They were supposed to headline Lollapalooza in 1994, but then...
Saw Fleetwood Mac when they had Bob Welch and still prefer some of their earlier work to the later Buckingham/Nicks group. It's pretty much all good though.Missing my date with Stevie Nicks because of a chemistry final. At least that's what I kept telling myself.
Sometimes we don't know what we've got 'til it's gone. Saw BB King and Glenn Yarbrough at Elliot in 70 or 71. Knew BB was something but didn't realize until many years later just how good Yarbrough really was.
Clapton did that by touring later with his brother Jimmie. I regret that I was unable to ever see him play but I never got the opportunity. I regret not seeing a number of people that I never had a chance to see. Maybe that is a whole other thread. My top would be Van Morrison.
I was fortunate enough to catch one of his shows with my parents. He could really belt out a tune. Dean Martin IMHO had the better voice but in concert Frank was the better showman.
