I was at Watkins Glen, but I don’t remember any music over the medivac choppers.
I don’t think I saw you. lol.
Peace, Love, Powder Ridge! I was there! All those bands including ABB were NOT there. I did see Melanie perform. (Saw her more recently, about five years ago at my friend's house concert. She was DREADFUL! Very sad, I liked her back in the day) Also was at Watkins Glen. Memory a little blurry for some reason?
Your post brings back memories of Agora and its other names like Stage West. I did not see Betts there but saw Nantucket and Men at Work among other bands. The place used to get so crowded that we would buy a six pack and hang it off your belt to avoid waiting in line.
Saw the great Roy Buchanan there. Most of the crowd had no idea who he was. Openers were local favorite Canyon and Firefall.
I remember Canyon with that tall female lead singer. I used to see them in the area clubs such as Brave Bull and Brandys (sp). They did a nice cover version of Showdown by ELO.
Yes! I grew up in W Htfd. Saw a lot of up and comers at the Agora/stage west, some on their way down and some nice local favorites...max creek, NRBQ, U2, English Beat, Ramones, Hatchet, MTB, Steppenwolf, the c;lash, REM, cheap trick, joan jett...
That place really was a golden age of local concerts. To add to the list we saw Dire Straits, Squeeze, Thin Lizzy, Eddie Money and all those MTV bands. The Clash and the Talking Heads Stop Making Sense tour in the same week!
