Damn near the same take on this...caught Allman Bros w/ Buddy Miles on a Sunday on Cambridge Common near Harvard Univ. Thought it was The Dead at first as tunes floated out over the street. Amazing. Could this ever occur again? I am almost sure not. Frank Zappa was always "on," although most of the really imprinted stuff is early '70s tour dates w/ Flo and Eddie (howard kaylan and mark volman of Turtles fame). Truly remarkable. Best pre-70s... without a doubt, The Grateful Dead at Boston University's Sargent Gym. Was that 1970?
Almost any show at the original Tea Party on Berkeley St.
To wit: Velvet Underground - Jeff Beck w/ Rod Stewart (opening act "The Nice" soon to become Emerson Lake Palmer.) Now thinking about it, my teenage molecules flipped completely for that Beck show. And then a long hitch hike home for high school the next day. Worth every sleepless moment.
The Ark in Boston had some great moments too... like the night Three Dog Night appeared. Opened by Earth Opera, and the licensing commissioner threatened to shut the place down due to dancing, which there were still enforceable blue laws to enact and teach those hippies just who was in charge. Oh, that was really something else.
