Uriah Heep at the Notre Dame ACC on March 28, 1976. The arena was so filled with pot smoke when the lights came up it was a green cloud. I had to threaten a couple of tokers sitting in front of us with bodily harm if they didn't put the weed out, as it was making me nauseous, and I didn't want to smell like pot when I got home.
We stopped at a bar on the way home to get a bite, and passed a couple of cops coming out as we walked in, I noticed the gave us a long look as we went to a table. The had to smell the pot, we reeked of it.
Great concert though, especially their rendition of July Morning.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young July 28, 1974 Jeppesen Stadium Houston. Just a couple of months after moving to the big city. HOT! I think it was also my last.

While he passed years ago, I used to know Ronnie Dio that was lead for Black Sabbath for a while. Was born and raised where I worked (Cortland, New York).

We weren’t buddies; his cousin was one of our waitresses, and he’d stop at the restaurant occasionally. We were on a first-name basis, so my only brush with someone famous….oh wait, Carmen Basilio was one of our customers at another place…great boxer and made super Italian Sausage..😉
