I saw them on the Animals tour, but Syd was institutionalized by then. (he woulda probably fit in great here)

I'd love to hear about some of the acts you roadied for.

Back to the subject, I find that the Cohiba Siglo II's I have in the tubo are normally smoking much better than the ones from the box.

The time that I saw them was 1967 at the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles - Blue Cheer, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, The Jeff Beck Group and Pink Floyd. For about $2.25.

I roadied for Atlanta Rhythm Section, The Georgia Satellites, The SOS Band, and The Dazz Band.

And, yes I am old. I turned 60 last November...

What a lineup.

I was still in diapers in 67.

I didn't know Fleetwood Mac was touring in 67

This was the original line up.

Yep, you're right.

I went back and researched it, out of curiousity.

Seems like Peter Green went the same direction as Syd Barrett.

I saw them in the early 80's and still put Stevie Nicks' performance that night as one of the best I ever witnessed from a rock band, although it was induced by heavy drugs.

She looked possessed during Rhiannon and couldn't take her eyes off Lindsey.

I think this was from around that time...

Stevie and Lindsay made that band into a great band. Take a look at these...

WOW!

I would be interested in purchasing one of those or trading some cigars.

I saw you have Deep Purple in there as well.

I was lucky enough to meet Ian Gillan at my friend's English Pub here in Orlando and stayed after closing and partied with him and a couple other guys and got backstage the next night at the show. Totally cool guy.

An old friend of mine is in Deep Purple now - Steve Morse. I saw The Ian Gillan Band, but the venue was horrible for shooting. I did get a couple of good shots of him in the dressing room. Whatta voice!

Trading for cigars... I'm interested! What do you have in mind?

Very intelligent guy. Very tall - about 6'8". Didn't strike me as any weirder than anyone else I hung around with at the time. Then again, I hung around with musicians and commercial artists.
