Back in 1968 when I was in high school there were lots of bands that played Love Street Light Circus feel Good Machine down at Allen's Landing. There was some underground FM station that simulcasted the shows every Saturday night. I heard Cream, Fever Tree, Spirit, The Doors, and many more local and west cost bands that played there that year. Does anyone on here remember this or the call letters of that underground FM station?

Also my last concert I saw in Houston was Jetro Tull at the Houston Coliseum in 1979 the year of their Songs of the Woods album. I remember there was some heavy metal band that played before before Tull did that had a stage full of equipment for just a 3 piece band. Between sets they cleared the stage and out of the rafters they lowered Tull's equipment which was over half as much equipment as the metal bands and Tull out played the metal band all to hell.

I saw Tull, musta been in the eighties, don't think it was seventy nine.During imtermission some bum looking guy, which was part of the show came on stage and threw up in a large lookin trash can, then the band came out, one by one, and they would pull a musical instrument out of the trash can. It was a badass and a very fun show. We sit close to the stage and they had this beachball, that would vibrate with the music as it floated thru the air or it seemed to, might a been the buzz I had. Dont remember no opening show.

They closed the show I think with the lights out, and when the lights came back on, the band was gone. The song The Last Walz by the band started playing, that even sounded good.

Speaking of Houston Concerts in the 80s, did anyone on here happen to see or remember this 86 concert? I've heard it caused all the freeways near downtown to shut down till way past midnight.

I went the night before and watched the rehearsal in front of the stage with no lasers or fireworks and went back the next night and watched the real show from a distance. All the feeways near downtown were at a standstill, people would get out of there cars a watch the action from the freeway. Yea it was something to see. Probably seen by a million people.

Back in the early to mid seventies I saw Joe Cocker at I believe Holheinz Pavillion, there was an opening band with a great black drummer, does anyone know of the band or drummer?
