: The darker side of Mr. Keno.
Yes! I've been here since Day One and I never heard that story! Excellent escapade!
: Sounds wild, though! I was born in the wrong damn decade. Can't imagine seeing them live in their prime. I think my brain would explode.
I JUST missed it - as I've mentioned many times, '75 was my first time, and there's a world of difference between '72 and '75. Still, I can imagine - the excitement that always attends seeing them must've been nearly lethal. Of course, they didn't have quite as much history dragging around behind them. Part of the thrill of seeing them is realizing (as I always do at some point) that they're the same people I've been reading about and studying and idolizing almost my whole life. In '72 they were still laying the groundwork.
: Wasn't Ya Yas recorded during those MSG shows?
Recorded for the most part at MSG but in 1969. Two demerits.
