It was far from the GW's best show. We all could tell the GW was on the verge of splittin' up after they did the Barbra Streisand(?) song "Memories". It was horrrrrible.

When I started to read your post I thought someone that knew me had told MY story. It was summer of 1973, I don't remember the exact date, or the opening band. It was Mississippi River Festival at SIU Edwardsville, and outdoor venue. There was a tent with chair for some. Most of us sat on the grass under the stars.

There was a drizzle for the opening band. As TGW was preparing to take the stage, it began to pour. A crowd gathered around the outside of the tent. A rush was inevitable. I was lucky enough to get 2nd row just to Burton's left. I sat in awe for 2 and half hours as he performed directly in front of me. He hit every note perfectly, his voice never cracked. I have never forgotton, and doubt that I ever will.
