On March 13, 1976, The Who came to the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin.
After waiting in line outside with a very large crowd, for a very long time, my friends and I made it inside and ran to the front of the stage as soon as they opened the doors. We ran because we had to secure a good spot with our cameras since it was a general admission show and we had no backstage passes. We were glad to have made it inside because outside we were pushed into the glass entrance doors to the point that we could not breath! I remember being very scared that day.
The show was great! It was after all The Who, so the waiting and getting crushed outside was worth it!
They were on tour in Chicago this past week so I thought it was a good time to dig up these images from 1976.
The present tour of course does not have Keith Moon on drums or John Entwistle on bass, unfortunately. I was lucky to see and photograph The Who with the original band.

After doing my blog last week, I realized that I forgot to include some other images that I really like.
Then, I found a few more color photos that I thought you might enjoy, so this week it's David Bowie Part 2.
That was one of the most amazing shows ever!

On October 13, 1974, David Bowie and his Soul Tour appeared at The MECCA Milwaukee Arena for a terrific show.
In October of 1974, David rebranded the show from The Diamond Dogs Tour to the Soul Tour and got rid of a lot of the theatrics on stage that had been used As a photographer, I was looking forward to The Diamond Dogs staging which was said to be very elaborate.
The sound check was just as good as the show, and the stage looked pretty void of theatrics but the lighting was beautiful!
That show is still one of my favorites of all time. The first photograph shown here is one of my personal favorites and has been a trademark of Rich Zimmermann Photography.
Enjoy the photos and for the week of the blog all the pictures shown are on sale at $30.00 for an 8 X 10 or 8 1/2 X 11.
