Well I do not know where this exactly fits in, but both my concert stories have to do with Waterbury CT and the late lamented (I think its late maybe its still there who knows) Palace Theatre. Sometime back in 72-73 or so I saw Mott the Hoople with opening act Queen. As Queen wrapped up a pretty remarkable show Ian Hunter and Mott took the stage with an uninspired and lazy set. So the future of both bands was previewed there in wonederful Waterbury. The second Waterbury story concerns Be Bop Deluxe who were a big fave of mine in 77-78. They were coming to the Palace and of course I had convinced my pals to shell out hard earned $$$ for tix. And also of course Bill Nelson and the Boys cancelled the show while we all stood outside the Theater the night of the concert. My name was Mudd and it took months to get our lousy $8 back or whatever it was. But hey why not stick some Be Bop Deluxe on AM???? I am over that thing ya know.....
