In reply to the discussion: Best concert you ever saw? [View all]MuseRider
(34,095 posts)26. Very early Steely Dan fronting
Frank Zappa. I have seen a LOT of very good concerts, James Brown was incredible but Zappa and Steely Dan were outstanding. 1971 or 72, I cannot remember. Cowtown Ballroom, Kansas City sitting on the floor (no seats then) about 6 feet from the very low stage. Nobody stood up during concerts then thank god or I would never have seen anything as short as I am.
I saw Flo and Eddie with the Turtles in Lawrence, Kansas when they were doing shows with Steppenwolf and Flo and Eddie were with Zappa when I saw them.

Earle was in Atlanta a few months after John Kerry got beat. It was the "rocking" Dukes.
