Concerts can be strange. Saw the Stones sitting behind the stage, had to listen to the echo off the cement walls. Still was fun.
Saw Procol Harum 3 times. Last concert, the minute they started a song the audience was up with a standing ovation. I don't think they were any better than the other 2 times (1st was lead for Leon Russell), but it was the crowd that made the difference.

Man, Leon Russell . . . was he ever a disappointment.
Went to an outdoor, festival style concert back in the early 70's. Headliner was Leon Russell (as I recall, he was the reason I went). They had all kinds of weird acts. Pretty sure Kool and the Gang was one of the openers. Sitting in the fucking rain/drizzle all day. It was Leon Russell, this was going to be worth it.
I remember the opening. This long haired Asian (no idea the gender) came on stage with a violin and let out one long note. The crowd roared. Leon came out, announced he had been saved and proceeded to play all his new Christian stuff. Don't recall him playing any of his older stuff.
