Younger days in the 60's... high school and college in the 70's...

This thread brought back many great memories. I lived in NJ when the bicentennial took place. Remember driving down to what is Liberty Park today on the 4th of July and watching the most impressive fireworks display I'd ever seen!

I subscribe to the Professor of Rock -- he goes back to a week in the seventies/eighties/nineties looks at the top ten, recalibrates and then compares it to the top ten of today. Worth a look if you haven't.
Pretty cool! I was a sophomore in college outside of Boston in 1977. A very small college at the time. Our auditorium was about as big as many high schools.

Boston hadn't hit it big yet and they came to our school and played for free. I was blown away!! Two months later, that album dropped and the rest is history.

That was the only time I ever saw them. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

my first car was a 1974 Pontiac LeMans , it had one

I googled to see when they stopped putting it there . sounds like around 1977 , they stared to phase them out
1941 Cadillac. My father bought it from a funeral home and there weren't any other cars in the family I could drive, so my friends and I cleaned it up as best we could - heck, it got us from point A to Point B. Got a lot of looks too - in 1973!
Three on the tree and NO power steering!!

Best Music summer ever!!

I can't remember what we paid for the seats - all three concerts were in nose bleed heaven - but we loved every minute of each one!!

Emerson Lake and Palmer concert with full orchestra Madison Square Garden
Emerson, Lake & Palmer performed with a full orchestra at Madison Square Garden on July 7 and 8, 1977, showcasing their unique blend of progressive rock and classical music. The concerts featured a diverse setlist that included iconic tracks like "Karn Evil 9" and "Pictures at an Exhibition"

Pink Floyd concert Madison Square Garden 1977
Pink Floyd performed at Madison Square Garden on July 4, 1977, as part of their "In the Flesh" tour, showcasing their iconic sound and elaborate stage product

Led Zeppelin concert Madison Square Garden 1977
Led Zeppelin performed at Madison Square Garden on June 7, 1977, as part of their North American Tour. This concert was notable for its high energy and was part of a six-show engagement at the venue, marking a significant moment in rock history.

Funny story about the Zeppelin concert. The kid in the seat next to me got so wasted, he passed out before they hit the stage. Slept through the entire concert and woke up as we were leaving. He's like "what happened, man?" I'm like, you just missed an entire Led Zeppelin concert, man". :laugh1:
 
Ah the good ole days


I really have never eaten candy, but as was stated in the clip there... there was no adult supervision whatsoever back then, so I was the 1st one out there and the last one to come home every year. Like I said though, it wasn't for the candy... it was the only night of the year that the girls with strict parents could get out of the house alone.

So you are preaching truth right there Bruddah... "Ah... the good Ole Days for fucking SURE!!!

Catching Boston before that album hit must've felt unreal in hindsight. Those little college shows had a way of turning into legendary stories later.
