Wow, what an amazing coincidence! I wasn't at Woodstock either. Another thing I have in common with Clapton! The mind boggles! lol

Bill, tgo

Bill; after reading Steve's comment, I've been sitting here thinking about all the bands I know I've seen but have from very little to practically no recollection of the actual show.

That's me and Foghat. Somewhere in the back of my mind it seems I once attended a Foghat show but darned if I can remember anything about it.

I must have seen the same Foghat show! Another band I saw but have no recollection of seeing is Angel. That was when I was young and dumb and before I started listening to Frank Zappa and Terry Bozzio

Mike

PS... I still like Foghat. Angel, not so much

I don't know Angel, but I once saw Angelz - I wish I didn't remember it!

...fell asleep at a van halen show in '78

I don't think it was the soothing tone...I'm guessing it was that brown columbian.

I think Clapton talks about the decision to not be at Woodstock in his recent biography - some corporate idea man developing Blind Faith felt it was too early for a huge show . . .

Makes no sense to me, but then again it was the 60's.

I was 3 years old, so I didn't get to Woodstock either.

In 69 I may have been at woodstock (mud fest) wishing I was at Blind Faith but all I remember is waking up in Nam with an empty bag of reffer listening to a bootleg 8 track of crosy,stills,nash & young & hendrick.Or was it the other way around.
Ahh The Memories!
