    Wow, I was at this concert in 76 at Balboa Stadium. Gary Wright, Yes, and Peter Frampton. What a concert and look at everyone having fun. Those were the days and man do I miss them. Gary Wright was a brilliant musician and will desperately be missed. RIP.

      Gary was singular, no doubt.
      I wish I'd been born a decade before '67, as the 70's stadium concerts were special from that bygone era. Didn't go live shows until in teens in 80's. Missed Cal Jams and all the great music and fun.

      I didn't know that his keyboard player play for other bands and backed up Michael Jackson, that is so cool. When I was a teenager in high school, my art teacher had the radio going and Gary Wright would come on all the time, I used to live in Desert Hot Springs, the next town over from Palm Springs and Gary's Love Is Alive with come on all the time, oh my gosh that's it such a wonderful feeling hearing Gary and his songs. I will carry Gary's songs for the rest of my life and I am 65 years Young, it's a shame he had so many years being in pain. Thank you for your comment on Gary and Jimmy Buffett. Lately we have been losing so many wonderful musicians, makes me feel very strange.

    Very, very saddened about the loss of the synth-rock-heavy icon who was very hot in the 1970s--almost as hot as KISS, Queen, Santana, and maybe even Lynyrd Skynyrd, in the 1970s. I am also having a hunch that a lot of Southern Rock fans in the 1970s--even Skynyrd fans--would go to arena rock shows like that for the--I think---"Love Is Alive" tour.
    Gary Wright's hot "synth-heavy" rock grooves and tunes inspired even the Steve Miller band to pay homage to Gary's synth work with the long introduction to "Fly Like An Eagle", known for its synthesizer pyrotechnics of swoop-ups, ring mods, arpeggiations, and rising scales." Likely an indirect homage.
    But it is so sad that we lost an icon. There may never be another Gary Wright in the foreseeable future! So sad we lost him!! :( :(

    I saw them on this tour in 1976 but at Angel Stadium in LA (this footage is from their San Diego concert). Gentle Giant opened the show with about an hour set, followed by Gary Wright with an hour set, then Peter Frampton doing about 2 hours and then Yes for the finale. It was an amazing lineup, with two of my fave bands Gentle Giant and Yes! Gary Wright was fantastic too. I was amazed that all of his musicians on stage - except for the drummer - were playing a keyboard, most of them around theirs necks - never saw anything like that before or since.

    Great times back then...."Greatest Generation" in charge. "Boomers" paying their dues. We, "Generation X" were watching Saturday morning cartoons and enjoying eating Frosted Flakes while just being kids.

    Ahh the good ole’ days when we could bring blankets-ice chests full of food-drinks to concerts. Saw Gary open ‘76 Frampton Comes Alive w/Santana a fantastic show that broke ticket sales records in Tulsa @ the motor speedway racetrack. Craziest memory is the row of older guys behind me & my friends. They were all wearing very short cut off denim shorts, sitting on top of their ice chests legs spread wide letting (everything hang out) think they did it for the shock value but who knows, it was a very hot summer day, gross! Wish I could see the pics another guy took of me-friends right now.

    Head to the Midnight Special version of this song by Gary Wright ' My Love is Alive' 1976 and the Dream Weaver live version, both are incredible and he should re release them, the 70's music was about love... kind songs, bring it back , settle down this Cr@Zy W@RLD .. don't miss the 'live' version of : ' Dream Weaver ' either.
