Even when he was older and not feeling well, he still had it. I only wish KZfaq and social media was bigger when he passed away; we would have way more "modern" content from him. There are a few bad quality videos that exist, but not much from before he passed away.

First concert I ever saw was The Cars in Philly at The Spectrum in August of 1979. I was 12 years old, and just about to go into Junior High School. My father took me to that concert because I listened to that first album 'non stop'. Fast forward 6 years later and Live Aid happens, and I'm 18 delivering pizzas in the Philly suburbs just before college. Live Aid was playing on my radio in my 1973 VW Beetle, and EVERY house that I delivered pizza to had Live Aid on their TV sets. I never missed a beat! It was a HOT day on many levels! Good times.
