I confess I'm a geezer. I've seen Cream, The Who (with Keith Moon), Led Zeppelin, Leon Russell, Delaney and Bonney, Spirit, Canned Heat, The Band w/ Dylan, Procol Harum, Ten Years After, Hendrix and dozens of other great concerts and there were no light shows or pyrotechnics or chorus lines just great musicians on stage doing their thing. I miss the days when a concert was about the music.
