Ah yes. We saw many of the same tours I'm sure. I saw some fantastic shows (and some not so good shows, but fantastic artists (the Doors with a drunk Jim Morrison). A fantastic "The Band" show on what I think was their only national solo tour (but I saw them again with Dylan in 73 or so (Before the Flood tour). Dallas was sorta he hinterlands, but on the way from the east to west coast, so most major acts stopped off there. Got to see Hendrix in Ft. Worth, Janis Joplin in Dallas. Too many to list. Your time period at Fillmore East was classic. You may have seen the shows that resulted in Allman Bros live at fillmore (maybe doubtful....your parents may not have allowed you to stay out until dawn!). Oh well, I could go on about this topic but I better stop. Has nothing to do with WIFI vs ethernet. But it does explain why there's a lot of things about sound quality that I can't distinguish any more, despite pretty good equipment. Too many really loud concerts (The Who, Who's Next Tour, front row...oh my!). age induced hearing loss, etc. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82026 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
