Concerts #4

Just remembered a couple more - these go WAY back.

Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band
I went to this show in 1980, and it was at the Airport Sheraton, which was a shame because Rick and the guys were really good. But this was still in the time when people weren't ready to give up on "little Ricky's music". I think this concert must have been in support of "Garden Party". Anyway, they were an excellent band and, as it turns out, I was lucky to have seen them.

Jan & Dean
I saw Jan & Dean twice - once at the State Fair (probably in the late '60's) and this time at the Auditorium in 1980. This second one was very sad. At the first concert they were so good (I've always loved their music, but that's because I'm old and all of their best stuff came out in the late 60's when I was a teenager). Anyway, the Auditorium concert was after Jan's horrific accident - he wasn't the same, the concert wasn't the same and it was all kind of sad.

The Beach Boys
Ah-ha! Thinking about Jan & Dean made me remember that I saw the Beach Boys - it must have been the mid-80's. It was at the Civic Auditorium, and the unfortunate thing is that I can't remember if Brian Wilson was at this one or not, but I think it was during his "spell". Anyway, don't remember much.....

These are all early concerts, and all now "oldie" music. It wasn't oldie music for me at the time.
