I saw him in the late ‘70s when he opened for Dave Mason (of Traffic fame) at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A. Very good show. That was at the height of Money’s popularity.

Everytime I hear his name I flash back to Cleveland 1978, World Series of Rock. The lineup for the day was to be Todd Rundgren, The Cars, Bob Welch, and Fleetwood Mac.

He was the first act and the huge crowd, for the most part, ignored him. He ended his set to a few polite boos and he left the stage, only to return for a encore! The crowd rumbled with displeasure. His act had become tiresome and he ended the encore, that nobody asked for, to a loud chorus of boos and and angry sun burned threats that he better not come out again.

It's a long way to the top , if you wanna rock 'n roll.

What is that, about a ‘75 or ‘76 Malibu? I can’t tell.

Nice. I remember him. Will have to play some of his tunes. 70 years not that old.

About 10 seconds of hip shimmy couldn’t get made today?

You obviously haven’t seen any videos by Pitbull.

For every cigarette Eddie smoked, God gave Keith another day of life.

Must be a ‘76. Seems like ‘76 was the year for stacked headlights (now I’m thinking about a ‘76 Monte Carlo).

I miss the 70’s. Great times.
