I saw Linda Rondstadt in 1974 and three songs into the first set
(Heat Wave) she told the audience if a certain person did not leave
the arena then she would leave. She sang another song and left. Her
band remainded, stunned, and left also. None to return.
That same year I saw Stephen Stills in the same venue. He was
playing an accoustic set and heard some boos from the audience. In
the middle of the next song he stopped playing and said something
like, "you don't like this kind of music". He walked off the stage
and returned with his electric guitar. He pulled off a great concert
in a tough situation. He made no enemies along the way.
I still think about that Linda deal. Left a bad taste with many
people.
