That must have been around 48 years ago so yes
Now I know that Jessie Joe is envious that I got to see Gord in 1967 but this takes the biscuit, as, having in a longish lifetime managed to see most of the great from Bill Haley to Dire Straits to Art Blakey, Ken Colyer and the Count and the Duke, but my main regret musically was not getting out of boarding school in March 1958 to travel 35 miles to Salisbury to see Buddy. I have however since been to Lubbock Texas and the studio in Clovis NM, during my 1999 North American tour see my Holly anecdote at:-

I have long wished I could have seen that Paramount concert which must have been magical.
