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.
Nice. I remember him. Will have to play some of his tunes. 70 years not that old.
Found this just now via RS mag from last month:

PS...Nice on your memory of concert. Not nice on how he died.
“I saw him in the late ‘70s when he opened for Dave Mason (of Traffic fame) at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A”
Yeah that would have been a good show. I think Universal amphitheater at that time was still an outdoor venue which I always thought was superior to when they enclosed it. Dave Mason’s wonderful “Certified live” LP was recorded there just a couple years earlier from when you saw him, highly recommend LP. I saw Dave a couple times a number of years later when he was no longer able to fill a big auditorium but sitting at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach and some of the Hollywood nightclubs was amazing to see him.
