Man, I'm a hoarder.... I've got about 3500 albums in storage here and there, and about 800 or so cd's...I go to lots of flea markets and yard sales and still find albums all the time...last year I got a copy of Black Sabbath-Paranoid with the poster intact...also found a copy of Pink Floyd-Dark side of the Moon with the 2 posters and the 2 stickers still intact...🌫

Johnny Winter- Progressive Blues Experiment

It's My Own Fault....=d> =d> =d>

Many years ago when I worked in the music business, there was a 2-ish years period when I was taking home 40-50 albums a week. All the new releases so gave away the stuff I wasn’t into (...e.g., disco, MOR, sappy pop, etc...). Boxes of records filled my bedroom. My WAG is that my collection was around 3K to 4K.

A few years later when I worked for Sony and we introduced CD players, I transitioned as much of my vinyl to compact disc but keep a bunch of albums that either weren’t available on CD or had great artwork that didn’t look so good shrunken down.

As much as I love the warmth of analog, the pops and clicks always drove me crazy.

Never kept any sort of track of concerts I went to...starting back around '75...tried to make a list, but CRS is winning. I do remember that one of the first few was Steve Miller, but can't for life of me remember who opened.

Steve Miller - Fly Like an Eagle

Jim Gaffigan was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and was incredulous that a talent as great as Stevie Guitar Miller could have made Abracadabra...lol

Brownsville Station - Yeah

Opened for Aerosmith in 77 or 78. Was pleased to find they were more than just Smokin in the Boys' Room....in fact, they were better than Aerosmith ...that Draw the Line tour....they were closing in on the bottom...fast. Tyler was so fd up he could barely sing

I saw Aerosmith in 77 or 78, and Styx opened for them....I really do not like Styx at all, but they completely blew the doors off Aerosmith
Steven Tyler forgot the words to Dream On, and they restarted it 3 times before Tyler fell asleep/PASSED OUT sitting on the drum riser.....by far the WORST show I evah saw

Saw Styx around same time -- think they were touring Pieces of Eight...was a good show. Glad I didn't wait any longer. Grand Illusion was the last album that I liked. I still really enjoy the earlier stuff...Crystal Ball and Equinox both have stood the test of time, IMO...

been trying to remember who opened for Styx....I'm thinking it was either Starz or maybe Golden Earring

Country Comfort - We Are The Children

Hawaiian Local Contemporary album from 1974. Their mellow, sometimes jazzy sound made them as popular as Cecilio & Kapono and Kalapana but drugs (...what else?...) would do them in.

72F / 82% RH / 0 mph - nice but cool day

Chicago (aka Chicago II)

Not entirely sure why this one seemed to fall between the cracks for me. I listened to Chicago a LOT until I had to quit at X. But of the first seven studio albums, II and III just didn't get enough listens. Maybe because the big hits were avail on IX and on Carnegie Hall....or maybe because the younger drug-addled me just couldn't really appreciate the depth and complexity of songs like The Road or In the Country. wow

Dad went to high school with Pankow the trombone player. Family legend is Dad was asked to drum for a new group which eventually became Chicago Transit Authority, later Chicago. Grandma didn't want him wasting his time so didn't give him the message until 30yrs later.

Ever listen to Cold Blood? Similar assembly with a few not well known albums out there. Sysiphus is the one I feel like they struck lightning with though.

While many wouldn’t know who James Pankow, Walter Parazaider, or Lee Loughnane are, they certainly know their sound.

Same for Stephen Kupka, Mic Gillette, Emilio Castillo or Lenny Pickett of Tower of Power fame.

I didn’t get into Cold Blood till “Thriller” but worked my way backwards.

Liked Thriller but just a little too polished, like they'd lost some of the soul. Of course could just be I was heavy into the first couple albums at an age when I was pulling my musical head out of my azz. You always remember your first loves

Maybe the switch to the Reprise record label had something to do with their change of musical direction? I think when they were on Fillmore Records, Bill Graham probably gave them more artistic license than when they signed onto Corporate America.
