Well I'm not quite a geezer yet but I was a kid the first time I saw him in 1974. I was 15 and my parents drove me down to Spokane Washinton (from Vancover Island), to see him. I had tickets to both shows and they were a few rows from the front and almost in the center. I can remember being the first one to jump up and clap on the standing O's. He sounded wonderful and I hung on every word of every song (I still do that).
I waited backstage with a small group for quite a while to see him. I must say I was a little bummed out that he came out with two pretty girls on his arms. I was sure that if I could just have the chance to talk to him that *I* could be his girlfriend. Ha ha, remember, I was 15. Anyway, he DID talk to me but I was so zoned out I didn't hear what he said, and too embarressed to say "what?" It was very nice, I'm sure of that. I did get his autograph, green marker, I still have it in a little frame. Ahhhhhhh, it's nice to reminisce.
