Then the show became a bit more “flamboyant”. A bit too flamboyant for Philly in 1970. grin

Things were very different then.

I was living in South Jersey at that time. We could see the buildings of Camden and Philly from one of my buddies back yard. David Bowie also play The Scene in Philly a lot. I never saw either Bowie or John back in those early days. I did manage to see quite a few big name bands at the Spectrum. Some real icons back before they became icons in the biz. Bob Segar as an opening act... Foghat with one hit song.....ZZ Top before the beards..... Wishbone Ash in Camden in a renovated movie theater.....

What a great time. Yes, things were quite different back then.
