Kansas in '75/6 opening for Ted Nugent, before the Masque LP. Long Beach Arena.
The guy sitting next to me said Kansas would whup ol' Ted, I said no way.
I had to clean a lot of egg off my face that night, and Ted was red hot!
Instant Kansas fan.

Steve Morse, opening for masters DiMiola/DeLucia/McLaughlin. Late 80s, Waikiki Shell.
Morse was awesome. Then the masters came out and put me to sleep until they had Steve come back out at the end for a 5 min. solo encore, and he blew them away again!
