On October 5, 2019, my old friends Pure Prairie League came to Milwaukee. For the second time I have had to miss their show because of prior commitments!! This is a great band with a lot of wonderful history.
The show in the pictures here was on December 1, 1972 when I was a senior in high school and working with the Bugle American newspaper as a music photographer. They played in Milwaukee at the Performing Arts Center which is still my favorite venue in Milwaukee.
Ben Sidren opened the show followed by Pure Prairie League, with John Prine being the headliner act.
This was way before Vince Gill came and left the band. That will be a separate blog someday soon.
Enjoy a look at the guys in 1972.
Thanks,

On December 1, 1972, I photographed a show at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center. The lineup for the night was Pure Prairie League, Ben Sidran and John Prine.
As to who was the headliner that night is a good question. Pure Prairie League had a #1 hit going on with the song, "Amy", and John Prine was a very hot act. Anyone remember who the headliner was??
Also included here, are some color photos of Pure Prairie League, when Vince Gill was a part of the band. The photos were taken in the 1980's at UW Whitewater. Vince Gill, would later become a country superstar! His voice is amazing and he is such a talent.
