Marshall Tucker's Doug Gray - at his peak, just great, kinda like a smokey bourbon:

I met him when they played at Jorgensen. It was right after the Caldwells' dad died. The whole band was down, but they put on a good show with two 'encores.'

Wicked Wilson:

Tell you a related story. When I was in the music business I met a few people who knew The Wicked One. All said he was a mean, nasty drunk. As the story goes he once decided to get drunk in a predominantly white biker bar where he proceeded to insult either a biker, his girlfriend or his ride. This guy said Wilson then received the worst beating he'd ever seen someone take. A few days later Mr. Wicked was back on stage doing his "Midnight Hour". Maybe all he wanted to do was ride around with Sally?

Bunch of white guys beat up a solitary black guy. Great story.:confused:

I saw James do this at the Apollo. Jaw dropping energy and passion. If you look closely at his pants, you can see that the knees are worn: the guy was really physical on stage.

I never had the pleasure, but when I went off to college, the guys from the NYC area used to talk about this part of his act. Of course, the story had to be dramatized with much falling to the floor, shaking off the help and the robe, and wailing rounds of "please"! Thanks for the memory.

I saw Stevie once at MSG I believe in 1971. The concert was, believe it or not, BB King, The Ike and Tina Turner Revue, Stevie Wonder and lastly, The Rolling Stones. I think I was sober the majority of the concert.

Can't believe we have gone this far and no one has mentioned....Van Morrison!

I saw Van three times during the 70's. The most surly, fan unfriendly performer I've ever seen. But always interesting. Thanks for choosing one of my faves from him. But really, after every concert I just wanted to kick his butt.

And a version I also loved, maybe just a little more. Made by Jerry just after he left The Impressions:

K-man I saw both of these. The Dead twice, Roddy 3x BEFORE "Maggie May". Roddy was the voice and the big romantic.

3o years ago, my mom heard Rod's "Maggie May",
and she said: how can this guy to be a singer. His voice like a duck.

Love some his old stuff, not crazy about the newer. Only time I saw him live I didn't recognize a single song.

Every Picture Tells a Story is a great album. Before he started ballads. Faces with Ron Woods were his band.
