Yes I watched Dark Shadows too! I used to sleep with the covers up to my neck because I didn't want to be bitten by a vampire while I was sleeping! LOL I love ABBA!

Personally I loved Peter Frampton. And James Taylor and Carole King and Chicago. Rocky Horror Picture Show. I liked Dark Shadows but I thought it was more in the 60s than the 70s. And I loved Jim Croce...Photographs and Memories...and John Denver (was he 70s or 80s? -- I no longer can remember).

Painter's pants! They were the only pants I could buy "off-the-rack" and not need to alter by buying a bigger size to fit my thighs and then taking them in to fit my waist. Rocky Horror -- I went dressed up as Magenta on my birthday. It was...memorable. And Jim Croce is buried near my high school.

Roxip, Dark Shadows originally ran from 1966 until 1971. They brought it back on TV in 1975 when they put it into syndication, so while a lot of people watched the original series in the late 60's, some more got turned onto it for the first time in the mid 70's.

In the early 70's, I was going to marry David Cassidy. In the later 70's, I was going to marry Peter Frampton. I had a huge almost wall-sized poster of him. I think I saw him about 5 times in concert. And who of us didn't blast Dreamweaver from our 8 tracks?

The first concert I ever went to was in 1970 and it was the Osmond Brothers. Donny was my second choice after David Cassidy. It meant so much to me that an older cousin sat through that with me. To give back as my nieces got hooked on boy bands in the I took them to concerts. So I've seen INSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and New Kids on the Block. Seems odd to look back and think about seeing Donny Osmond in 1970, then going to my first grown up concert in 1972 which was The Allman Brothers with the Eagles as the opening act.

My first concert was Vanilla Fudge, Grass Roots, and Canned Heat. LOL But that was in '68. The first concert I went to in the early '70s was a huge outdoor concert in Hollywood, FL with Santana, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, The Who, Joe Walsh,...I can't remember who else but it was huge. It had rained for 3 days straight and the ground was a freakin' swamp and I lost my sandals in the mud and got a ton of mosquito bites. Now that was memorable! LOL ETA: Oh, the one in '68 I was a junior in high school.

Twinkie, did you grow up in Broward County? I was there then, too. We used to get lots of good concerts back then.

My favorite concert was Fleetwood Mac. I never saw Donny Osmond in concert, but I had a friend who took pictures with him when he came to our town in concert.

The first big concert that I ever went to was a ZZ Top concert in Austin in the early 70's. I believe it was 1974. It was in an outdoor stadium and the temperature was in the 90's. It was concert seating, so everyone lined up hours early, in the heat, to get a good seat. When they finally opened the gates it was pretty scary because there was a huge rush and push from behind and I don't see how someone wasn't trampled. They wouldn't allow you to bring any coolers in and they only had a few concession stands open, so it got pretty ugly in the line waiting to get a cold drink. The heat was really starting to get to me and my boyfriend was worried about me. He happened to be rude enough and big enough to push his way to the front of the line. Any other time I would have been upset, but at that time I was too happy to get that cold coke to care about how he got it. In our infinite teenage wisdom, my girlfriend and I had worn halter tops and shorts. (I don't think we even knew what sunscreen was back then, either). By the time the opening band, Black Oak Arkansas, started playing we were turning bright red. Towards the end of Black Oak Arkansas' set, I had quit sweating and turned pale with heat exhaustion and I passed out. My boyfriend carried me to the already overflowing with passed out bodies first aid station. They gave me a glass of lukewarm water and told me to stay out of the sun. DUH! We had had enough torture anyway, we just left. So, that was the end of my first big concert experience. I didn't even get to see ZZ Top!

Az, Jim Dandy didn't come to your rescue? Sorry, I couldn't resist! I loved that song by Black Oak Arkansas.

You all rock for creating all these wonderful memories. Makes me smile and want to cry all at the same time. I personally preferred Paul Michael Glaser to David Soul, and I held the microphone from my portable tape player up to the television set and recorded every episode of Starsky and Hutch. LOVED the movie remake just because of their cameo. I also had every intention of marrying David Cassidy... can't imagine why that didn't work out. Guilty admission >> I just ordered tickets for a David Cassidy concert in Lincoln City, Oregon. I got so excited when I saw he would be performing! Um, and I went to see his show in Vegas several years back too. Sigh. Some dreams die hard.
