Ecstasy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Monkees --- hmmm? Maybe Headquarters was first? I'd have to look the dates up. I was still kind of too young to appreciate Beatles then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggiesjc Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Record: Neil Diamond, not sure which one as I was busy collecting all of his Concert: Beach Boys at the UC Greek Theater in Berkeley, 1979. I didn't buy the ticket - got dragged along by my older sister to this, and as a little kid, all I really remember is being far more impressed by the theater than by the concert itself. In fact, I thought they sounded terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
