I do remember this, I couldn't get any girls from the college to go with me to any of the concerts. No one else had heard of him, and so it wasn't anything they wanted to do. This was before "If You Could Read My Mind" had hit it big. In fact, SDYS was a bigger audience pleaser than IYCRMM at that point. Probably because of the Vietnam War going on.

I also remember that there was little if any talk from GL during the concert. It was just song after song, and a little subtle humor: "What did the 3-headed dragon say to the fair damsel? 'Judy, Judy, Judy.' "

Perhaps the only better memories are sitting next to Jenney Rivard in the second row at Massey Hall a few years back. Ever since I've had the "Sunday Concert" album I bought in the late 60's, I've wanted to see him at Massey Hall, and I finally got to do it.
