Good Morning Rob,

Thank you for the link to your work. I can add the following.

I saw S&G in concert in July of 1967 at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. I was a child, so I do not know the exact date (But I have seen it listed somewhere on the internet.)

The opening act was a 1960s group named the Lovin´ Spoonful (´Summer in the City, Do You Believe in Magic´). Although they were big at the time, the audience wanted to see S&G so much that the Spoonful eventually just walked off the stage. The S&G concert was just the two of them and Paul on guitar. Somewhere I have some 8mm home movie footage of the show, but I haven´t seen it in many, many years.

The next morning, we saw Art in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn. (Had it been Paul, my brother and I probably would have asked for an autograph). Luckily in all the years since, I have had two chances to meet and talk with Paul.

Hello Richard. Thanks for your entry. This is exactly what I am looking for, people who have seen concerts themselves and share the memories with others. I will add it to my list asap!

Hey Scaaty...well you never know, but maybe I was watching too much Futurama.

No, I just picked a date far in the future...so I get the next computer problem in the year 2060, and not 2015 ;)
