On The Spirit Family Tree - Missing is the April, 18, 1968 show @ the Anaheim Convention Center opening for Cream.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cohalen! BTW, the show was on March 18 not on April 18.
DeleteCheers,
Bruno
I was at a Spirit show in Tampa in 1976 with Jay the Ferguson band as the opener. The problem is, my ticket stub was torn in half to where only the year remains (as well as the day and the time of the event). I found another on Ebay the other day for sale, but it looks like the same ticket-taker took this one as well, since it's torn exactly like mine! Any ideas as to what the month and the date of the show was? There is what looks like the right edge of the number 6 still showing on my stub. I have it whittled down to 11-6, 10-16 or 3-6 (all fall on a Saturday night in the year 1976). Anybody??
ReplyDeleteThe venue was Curtis Hixon Hall, BTW....
DeleteI don't know the exact date, but thanks anyway!

ReplyDeleteno man, sorry. I will try to find the exact date.
DeleteDoes anyone recall there being a Spirit show somewhere in Jacksonville, Florida, sometime around 1968 or '69?
ReplyDeleteHi Bruno,
ReplyDeletePlease add an incredible gig to the list, I was there and can vouch for its authenticity:
6 Nov. 1969, Denison University, Granville Ohio. Spirit opened for The Who at the Livingston Gymnasium.
Kim Ottavi
Thanks Kim!
DeleteI cannot believe.how many times Spirit was in Michigan. Only saw twice. I didn't know they opened for Seger when Live Bullet was recorded.

Deletegreat list, but May 1973, the Holland tour, Spirit was with Randy i have seen them 3 times that week!! Ron from Holland debruijnron@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThe band stayed over in Atlanta after the first Atlanta Pop Festival and performed a well-documented free concert at Piedmont Park on July 7th, 1969 that also featured CTA, Delaney and Bonnie, and the Grateful Dead.
ReplyDeleteSpirit played at The Venue in London on August 2, 1981 as a three piece (California, Cassidy and probably Steve Loria). The support band was Legend. I was there
