HEY! EPAMINONDAS!

First concert I ever saw was Emerson Lake and Palmer at The Spectrum in Philly 1977 or 78, about when Trilogy was released I think. My buddy and I were not yet old enough to drive so we bought an extra ticket and talked a priest who taught at our school into taking us.

Average ground speed on the way down was 85 mph.

Along the way he took the wrong exit off the Schulkyll Expressway so he highspeeded in reverse back down the ramp and back onto the highway. And we were only mildy surprised to see him toking on a big old fat one inside the arena. He was as stoned as anyone there.

I ain't been right since :)
