These photographs are from a few things that I have found in my closet lately!
In finding these, I am confused as to what year I took them! It is either 1971, 1973 or 1977! So, give me some feedback and let me know what year you saw Steve Miller and Leslie West at Summerfest . I really think the photos were taken in 1971, but I have one date on the color slides (1971) that were used in Blog # 59 on May 6, 2013. Then I have two different dates on the sleeves for the black and white negatives (1973 and 1977)!? Confusion here folks, so please provide me some fun feedback and memories to share of this show.
This period of Summerfest, was when the good old mainstage existed with the two big top tents and grass in front of the stage. It was a good time, except when it rained and turned Summerfest into Mudfest!
Steve Miller, on this particular evening was awesome and his band with Norton Buffalo was so good to listen to. The added benefit of Leslie West coming out to play was a great surprise.
Some of these images are not in the best of shape and if you know me, I don't Photoshop until purchased, due to theft on the web of my images. They are still good to look at to see Norton Buffalo, Steve Miller and Leslie West rockin' and rollin'. I could listen to Norton Buffalo all day long! If you don't know who Norton Buffalo is, he is pictured here in the first photo. He is a great harmonica player and a great all around musician.
Enjoy and let me know if you were there and what year it was.
