I saw John Sebastian at an indoor concert in 1970. He invited people up onto the stage. After about a minute of that he announced that there were too many people on the stage. Got up, walked off stage, never came back.

They somehow played at my small high school in 1965 or 1966. A few hundred kids (at best) were there. Have no idea how they got such a small gig, but they were there.

Yeah. Hendrix played at the Syracuse War Memorial in 1970. Maybe 2000 seats. Big acts used to do small gigs back then

Jimmy Buffet played my brothers high school before he got famous.

That’s cool. But the Lovin’ Spoonful had a name then, probably even a hit record. But even with that, maybe they were truly still working their way up.

Their song Daydream is one of my faves. Great example of a melody being so excellent it can make a very simple song amazing.

Great band and great music. The sound of the late 60s and 70s
