"Chicago" after the REAL Chicago Transit Authority took them to court, right ??

I remember seeing the Raspberries at the Agora Theater. They hadn't gotten that big break yet. Eric Carmen's father's money went a long way before success.

You mentioned Cactus. I was BF with a guy who promoted various acts into Cleveland music venues. He got me into see Cactus with Grover Washington, Jr -- a GREAT sax man, Dreams -- one of the BEST jazz-rock bands EVER and Uriah Heep. The Heep was insane. During a quick break, I remember Mick Box came out and sat down on the edge of the stage and just jammed by himself. He was a phenomenal guitar player. What a night !!
