March 7 & 8, 1974 J.J.'s Club - San Diego, CA

Thirty two years ago this week, I got to see the Greatest Band ever.  Two rainy nights, two of the greatest shows I have seen. 

Night of  3/7/74 went to show with then girl friend,  3/8/74 was the night my buddies and I attended.  Skip had only been with the band a couple of months, and the band gelled and gave the performance of a life time.  (see setlist for 3/8/74 below).  We were standing with our feet touching the stage, between Dawson and Battin.  This a 6" stage and between songs conversed with them between song.  Many years later, our good friend Rob Bleetstein (webmaster NRPS.net) fixed me up with a cd copy of the 3/8/74 show.  It is really cool to have a cd of a show you attended. 

As an aside, I would have posted this on the 8th, but I had the chance to attend a show with Alison Krause and Union Station, IMO the best bluegrass band in the world.  I got home too late to post.

First set: I Dont Know You / Hi, Hello, How Are You / Teardrops In My Eyes / Sunday Susie / Panama Red / Lonesome LA Cowboy / You Should Have Seen Me Runnin / Singing Cowboy / Sweet Lovin' One / Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music) / Henry / Sutter's Mill / She's No Angel / Linda / Down In The Boondocks / Truck Drivin Man

Second Set: Crooked Judge / One Too Many Stories / Whiskey / Garden Of Eden / LA Lady / Lochinvar / Dead Flowers / Six Days On The Road / Glendale Train / Last Lonely Eagle / Take A Letter Maria / Rainbow / On The Amazon / Encore: Nadine

Finally, I am going live tonight with my new site.  It's not anywhere finished, but something I feel is necessary on the web.

Enjoy!!!
