My first Winterland concert was Traffic in 1972, with Dave Mason as special guest. The "Low Spark" and "Canteen" period. Fantastic! I saw them again in 1973 when you did. The "Shootout" period. Also great. What a wonderful, and inexpensive ($4 or so), experience the Winterland shows were!
I saw many of the same shows you did on the southern Cal swings of their tours... Mahavishnu (with The Section, I think) at Santa Monica Civic, Sabbath + Yes at the Forum (?), ELP at Long Beach Arena, Traffic + Free + John Martyn at Santa Monica Civic, and Pink Floyd at the Hollywood Bowl - as you mention, brand new unreleased Dark Side, in huge quadraphonic sound, the fountains in front of the stage going off, fireworks behind the Bowl at the climax... mind-blowing! Such great concert experiences back then.
I saw Procol Harum in Central Park in Aug. 1971. A couple of months after Trower left. They were still fantastic. They had Gary Brooker and BJ on drums . I also saw Wet Willie open for The Allman Brothers that week. And The Jefferson Airplane played a couple of days later. That was a fun week for my 17 year old self.
Your David Bowie recollection of seeing him live reminds me of when I saw him in 1972, the venue held 3000 people, and there were 900 in attendance. I probably saw the same Pink Floyd show in 1972, when they played the entire DSOTM, of course I had no idea that's what it was. Saw King Crimson in 1973, but what was even more fun was when I saw Robert Fripp play solo at a record store. The store was Capers Corner, he sat in a chair and played his Frippertronics. This was pretty cool. Of course, this wasn't 1972 or1973, more like 1977. Roxy Music was a favorite; we saw them several times all over the country. They may have been my favorite '70's band. And thank you Mazzy.
Like you, Steve Miller was always on my list when he played locally, You're the first person that I've ever seen showcase Recall The Beginning. At the time I had every Steve Miller album, but somehow this one eluded me, and I later found it at a used record store somewhere at the time. Two of my most memorable shows at Winterland was a blues show with Muddy Waters, Magic Sam, and others, Another one was B.B King, Albert King, and Frank Zappa, on the same bill. I wish my memory was half of yours. I saw lots of concerts at Winterland, but need posters to remind me. Oh yeah, I saw Ottis Redding there. Thanks for bringing us back to the halcyon days of our youth Maz.
Mazzy, as a Brit and 1 year older than you, I have to say how impressed I am by the number of top UK bands you saw during such a short period of time. I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd and Traffic around the same time and concur 100% with your comments. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video. Brings back many Winterland memories from the mid/late-70s: 10 Years After, Traffic, Wishbone Ash, Fleetwood Mac (first tour with Stevie/Lindsey), Genesis (Wind & Wuthering tour) + American acts Johnny Winter, Booker T and the MGs, Santana (Borboletta tour) with opening band Journey (pre-Steve Perry) . . .
Did you see the Taj Mahal, Loggins and Messina and Dave Mason with guest Graham Nash Winterland show in 1972? Now that was a great show! Even Bill Graham came out and told the audience how wonderful he thought that night was.
Thanks, Mazzy, great video. I’m really jealous of the shows you’ve seen. 😊 A buddy of mine saw the Ziggy Stardust tour, and he said that when Bowie closed with Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide, it was incredibly emotional, with the whole crowd reaching their hands out to him on stage.
Saw most of those shows, but in LA. Unintentionally saw Sabbath 3 times. Wanted to see Wild Turkey. Super live shows. Was very odd to see Yes do a 30 minute set before the BS boys, and then come back in a year or two with an incredible Close to the Edge tour.
Hi Mazzy, Thanks for bringing back some memories for me. I attended many of the same shows, but on the east coast (Syracuse). The university helped bring the bands to upstate. Cheers!
Mazzy what a fun video! Great stories and fantastic music from your amazing experiences from a year of classic concert shows. Bill Graham did as much or more for music than most artists, wonderful blends of different styles of bands all in one evening. 👍
Wow!!!! I am so jealous that you got to see Roxy Music and David Bowie in 1972. On a side note, a gentleman I used to work with got to see Pink Floyd around that same time as well in Detroit. 🙂
Fairport Convention are wonderful and still going strong! I saw them earlier this year, and in fact they are the band I have seen the most times (I’ve lost count how many!). Perhaps the title you were searching for was Unhalbricking, from 1969. Sandy Denny was a full member then, not guesting. It was the album before Liege and Lief-they made three albums in 1969, incredibly.
The incredible list of bands during that era which you saw perform is epic. Roxy Music pre 75 is something to behold. Wait, what? No Genesis but you saw the indulgence called ELP?!
I did get to see Bad Company at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix back in 2001 before Boz Burrell passed away, great performance. But damn, you got to see a bunch of great concerts back then which I envy because I like the same bands you do. I’m impressed that you heard of Mason Proffit because I have their first album Wanted on vinyl. Interesting enough they’re from Chicago and not the west coast. I always thought they reminded me of the Byrds in their country rock folk way. Great video. Want to apologize that I haven’t been watching you as much, but I still love your videos. ❤😊
Mazzy, it's a pity you do not have a Wild Turkey album, as their first album "Battle Hymn", in my opinion, is a masterpiece. As you are probably aware, Jethro Tull's original bass player, Glenn Cornick, formed this band after he was sacked from Tull. You need to track down "Battle Hymn"...you won't be disappointed..
Mazzy. Another great video. Thank you. Have just been upstairs and dusted off my Pete Frame books. I am not sure if you have them but being interested in the art side of things you would love them in full A3 fold out format. Free, by the way we're famously, in UK terms, from the North East of England (Newcastle/Sunderland). As it happens am seeing the remnants of the late Free guitarists band (Back Street Crawler) who cover Free material too, this Tuesday ((16 June). Thanks for the work you do! Collected
@lester58youesay82. I believe that only Paul Rodgers of Free came from the North East of England. Paul was born and raised in Middlesbrough which is part of Teeside - a large urban area on the banks of the River Tees. Another son of Middlesbrough is singer/songwriter Chris Rea. Teeside also includes Redcar - birthplace of David Coverdale (Deep Purple, Whitesnake). There are large chemical works and oil refineries on Teeside. Maybe the “air quality”/pollution contributed to the voices of these singers. Stay safe and well.
Maz... I have the double CD of "Exile on Main Street"... CD 1 is the remastered studio album... CD 2 is "Exile live"... Long live the Rolling Stones...
Fairly new to the channel Mazz. You've got great taste in music, and you can talk shit for days, great stuff. Bloomfield would be in my top 3 favourite guitarists, the other 2 being Peter Green and probably Stevie Ray Vaughan. You should do a Favourite Guitarist Video if you haven't already of course
I saw the Pink Floyd 72 tour at the Hollywood Bowl, and I recently found a recording of that show, and the most interesting track on it, was their version of Great Gig in the Sky, there was no female vocalist, and the Band toyed with using a countdown much like Procol Harum’s Whaling Stories, I wish I could share it here.
Joy of Cooking was also big in Montreal. I have 2 of their lps. I cant remember if I ever saw them. But then again, friends told me that I saw the Stones, Steppenwolf and Tull. I'm sure I had a good time.
Brilliant stuff hearing about your live gigs over there in S F , during a great period of British band creativity. I love your “shoutout” towards John Martyn , who was also one of my favourite live and record artists , in the 70’s . If you get a chance to see and hear Nick Mason’s “ Saucerful of Secrets band , play the early Pink Floyd albums , live ….they are actually, very , very good ! * on tour in the UK 🇬🇧 here and now boys !🎉
Another great video. I have the Pink Floyd poster from 72 when they played the Seattle show. Do you have the Vinyl bootleg of that Winterland Pink Floyd show?
I’ve seen on TH-cam clips of Slade at Winterland. Did you catch them? I don’t imagine they were much to your taste, but a very English working class stomp and glam act. Quite good fun on stage.
Hi mazzy we must speak about some stuff 1 the Beatles..no band comes close…I’m a nut and PROUD.. 2 their pretty awful solo..(it has moments) 3 online fantasists pre code and bb Mazzy we must speak i have all the answers That fairport convention album you name love it!
Shame on you, that you don't have: The Inner Mounting Flame. Obscured by, is my favorite Floyd album. Love the early Steve Miller. Been to the Steve Miller Band in Amsterdam in 2010, in the Heineken Music Hall, the Bingo promotion tour.
One could become a bit jealous about your priviledged situation around this time. Still, I have no reason to complain at all, as I was also able to see hundreds of acts, from the end of the sixties until now. Of all the artists your have mentioned, I saw John Martyn and also Fairport the most. I suppose you have got Small Hours by Graeme Thomson, the great John Martyn Bio. Really touching.
I don’t see it as privileged. It was the time and place. Shows were cheap and it’s what we were all into during this year and subsequent years. One in the record biz, many of the shows were free. ✌🏼
@@mazzysmusic what I mean is right place, right time. Let's call it coincidence then. I was also in the business for more than 40 years. So I can't complain.
Saw Bowie and the Paramount with Tin Machine. Soupy's boys. It was good but they didn't do a single Bowie tune. They should have encored with Bowie's Suffragette City. That would have rocked the place. I'll have to check out Terry Reid. Thanks.
@@mazzysmusic Bowie's effort to stay relevant during the 90s. Have to remove the like due to the Gordon reference. Clapton had the right idea. Throw his bag out the window.

Some great shows back in the 70's. And they didn't charge a fortune back then.
Ticket prices were well balanced back then

Well , I can't believe it , I have at least half the albums you showed I can't believe it, All great albums.
Wow, what a great run of shows! Andy

Thanks for sharing your history

I can’t begin to express my envy.
And I learned here how Winterland got its name.
Glad you enjoyed it!
60 - 70 shows in a year…it’s no wonder you have so many great stories.

Hello from the UK. Saw lots of bands in the early 70’s, I think Procol Harum were the best of them all live
They were great ✌🏼

Sorry been cheating on you with Larry Graves from Ontario. 😂
You guys are both cool.
Nothing to apologize about. Thanks for coming back ✌🏼
Pete Frame >> Rock Family Trees... cheers, Mazzy!
Yes yes ✌🏼
Wild Turkey I think were Glen Cornick of Jethro Tull's band. Fripp has released live material from this period subsequent.
The middle act "Stevie Wonder" !! Check him out on the "Summer of Soul" film of the Harlem 1970 gigs. The most incredible performance I have seen.
Yeah. That’s so good ✌🏼
Mazzy, it's a pity you do not have a Wild Turkey album, as their first album "Battle Hymn", in my opinion, is a masterpiece.
