I still have trouble following the logistics that gets you from "White Rabbit" to "We Built This City."

It is rather ironic that that song was more of a "pop" hit rather than "rock" hit.

Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, er Starship rather went the way of REO Suckwagon.

Yup, but it was (for some unknown reason) the tape I had in my cassette player most of my senior year of high school.

It's no good.  The song will be back in your head the first time you see this thread.  Probably before that.

No, I consider those to be the special education level of music.

Of course there are these recent bands that stand at the mic and scream, but I don't classify that as music so I consider it a moot point anyhow

Somewhere in the 70's I saw Starship at the Assembly center and Craig Chaquito's guitar work was splendid.

Early seventies.  I was there, too.
Also got to see Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Uriah Heep and more.
ZZ Top used to come up from south Texas very early and played in the Cain's, if memory serves.  They weren't big name then, just a really good "garage type band".  Only really good.
Alice did the guillotine thing.
And Johnny Winter - loudest concert in the world.
And Tina Turner at a little place down on 61st (?) around Sheridan that didn't last long.

If I can remember through the drug-crazed haze, I seem to remember Ozzy trying to come to town and was banned - as is done by book banning and burning groups.  Flashback to that Kevin Bacon "can't dance in our town" movie...

And Jimi Hendrix.  Best concert.

All in the Civic Center- before the city let it decay to justify the Crashship.

Johnny's brother lives at Turley?  Strange.  Hard to imagine, but stranger things have happened.  Like Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.

Johnny Winter was the second show ever played at the Performing Arts Center.

My tickets were second row center.

Speaking of Craig Chaquico, I've seen him twice in the last few years hear in Phoenix, one time on his doing his solo tour openning for Russ Freeman and the Rippington's, and another tour that was Craig and Russ touirng for an alblum they did together. The highlight was the two of them doing "Find Your Way Back" acoustically with Craig plaing a 12 string and Russ playing a 6 string. Tried to find it on youtube and this was all I could find that was decent sound quality, apparently it was used on The Weather Channel......

As far as I can find, Johnny lives in Connecticut and Edgar in California, but had heard Edgar own some auto salvage business north of town (some specialty place like BikerFox)
