Great show as always. I remember I wanted to attend the Last Waltz. I lived in San Jose at the time, but in ninth grade $25 seemed like a fortune for a concert. I do regret not going.
I didn’t go to see John Coltrane during his long last stretch with the quartet in 1965 because I could hear 50 minutes of it live on the radio each Friday night. And they let me write about jazz twelve years later, even?
