I was at every one of those Philly shows. Never missed them there, also MSG for freeze frame tour and Asbury Park Convention Center, can't remember when that one was, but I never missed a Spectrum show . Great times

Yep we sure did. I remember vividly that show where manfred man's earth band opened. Another was hearing "chimes" for the first time there stretched out on the floor and sooooo stoned. once they started the first notes the whole place seemed to light up that night great memories and hoping for more to come

[PACKFAS]

YEAH---I remember the time for Chimes, the one white flood light hit Seth and the palce lit up (litreally).also remember when they opened with Did you know wrong, which I thought was a great opening song. lots of good memories some vague but it was a different era then.

good memory. yep I remember the floodlight now, you're right. that was such a long time ago and hundreds of concerts in after that have blurred my memory. But when that album came out I remember saying when I first heard chimes "wow what a great getting high song" lol. and did you no wrong was cool too. I wasn't the setlist junkie that I am now for most shows. I just knew that any of their shows were the most rockin live shows around. Then Bruce & ESB came along and pretty much filled the void for me LOL. But still really miss these guys.

J. Geils from 1974 opening with 'Did You No Wrong'
