Deep Purple, backed up by a newer band called ZZ Topp.

I missed a golden opportunity to see The Who, but had/have several of their albums.

Ten Years After at the Chicago Stadium in 1975 came back for a 3rd encore, after the lights came on. Most of the crowd remained, with sustained cheering. Those of us on the main floor started banging the chairs and doing the Woodstock chant.

Alvin Lee was an underrated guitar god, despite filling the big venues back then.
