January 7, 1978
Went to Chicago to see RUSH w/Debbie, Lisa, Jimmy, Ken & his brother.
Had the greatest time. It was a fantastic concert!!
Author's note:
Yeah, right. How I remember it now is - a Cincinnati WHO concert waiting to happen.
We waited outside in an alley all day with two thousand other people in the freezing cold and drizzle.
When they finally opened the doors, it was dark and the people started charging - or "rushing" in this case. There was broken glass everywhere and barricades toppled and bodies downed. Debbie got walked right out of her shoes so she walked on my feet. Once inside it was every man for himself. General admission. The front twenty rows were made up of rickety folding chairs that got busted when stood on or thrown. Science Fiction Rock - Fantastic!
All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage
