Three Dog Night 1974

The first concert I ever went to was “Three Dog Night” in 1974 at Gustavus Adolphus College. I was in a wheel chair after having knee surgery and since they did not want me to block the aisles back in the cheap seats, they ushered us up front and center…unbelievable…I did my first pirated recording at this concert…Of course now everyone is a pirate with their cellphones…back then it was a big deal. I had the microphones strung through my cast and bulky cassette recorder underneath the wheel chair…I still remember every song they sang and remember being blown away by their musicianship both vocally and instrumentally.They had a lot of Top 40 hits like Joy to the World, Mama told me not to come, Pieces of April,Never been to Spain, Road to Shamballa and more. One of my favorite songs that never went to the pop charts was Eli’s Coming…Check this recent rendition minus Chuck Negron…they still can play and sing!!
