I also saw the Byrds at Inwood Ballroom in Spillville, Iowa. They were just famous and couldn’t get out of the contract. Saw the Buckingham’s in Spillville, as well, and Blood, Sweat, and Tears in Cedar Rapids.

Oh, I forgot that I saw Maria Muldaur at my college. The warm-up act was Bruce Springsteen.

🙄 and saw Paul and Paula at the roller rink in Harmony, MN. And the Fendermen at Maters Ballroom in Decorah, Iowa while in high school. Last August I drove by the property where the roller rink was and it’s a nursing home now.

I forgot, I went to this, too. I took our nanny, a college student, and she was bored to death.

That would have been a fun show. I had a couple Maria Muldaur LP's. Loved I got a brand new pair of roller skates and you got a brand new key. LOL
I saw Frampton's Camel which was Peter Frampton's band just before he got famous. They opened for ZZ Top.

 

[LastManStanding]

Can't remember any of those. But what ever I went to, I danced like mad. Like no one is watching.
Anyway we never had concerts like what you have in the US. But what we had was enough for me to burn a thousand calories, and some. 😅
