Rock's In My Head Apr 22, 2018

Dec 6 :JETHRO TULL/FAT MATRESS/GRAND FUNK RAILROAD @ FILLMORE EAST Tickets arrive and away we go. A few bottles of wine for the train ride and some Marlboro Reds, orchestra seats far back on the right side. Grand Funk Railroad opened and were loud, very loud, fast and so loud, with a hair flowing lead guitarist running about on the stage. Geez, they got an encore and then another encore...WHAT? An opening act at Fillmore East getting multiple encores? Grand What? It was unusual even with my limited concert experience to see an opening band called back more than once. I was not too impressed saying so later to my friends. Oh, not too cool on my part as most everyone in our little group loved them. Then, FAT MATTRESS hit the stage, a band which was basically Noel Redding the ex-bassist for Hendrix's Experience, now on his own playing lead guitar and singing. Seems like he hooked up with a bunch of his drinking buddies to form this band. Fat Mattress was not particularly good, terrible actually. They did a tune called ALL NIGHT DRINKER to which I think Noel wrote because he was a drunk and proud of it. Then JETHRO TULL hits the stage opening with NOTHING IS EASY and played most of their new album STAND UP.
