Show Reviews
Headliner was Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity (the reason I went), opening act was Elvin Bishop.
They used Rickenbacker amps (I think they had an endorsement deal). Jimmy played that cool old Telecaster.
They tore it up. I saw the early show that night. I recall heavy versions of "I Can't Quit You" and "How Many More Times" and "Communication Breakdown." The band urged fans on to the stage to dance during the finale of "How Many More Times." Generally speaking, they went down a storm, and turned me into a fan for life. I wish the memory was more detailed, but I'm grateful for anything at this point, almost 38 years after the fact.
