My first year as a civilian after four years in the Navy. Went to Mardi Gras in February during the gas crises. Remember the long lines waiting to get gas? It was a good time to take a long trip but what a time we had. I made a mix several years back that contained a lot of the music we had in the car for that trip. I should post that up here some time.
I don't think this was a particular good year for music. A lot of the money I spend on albums that year was for music I had missed over the past few years. I was also listening to a lot of jazz and blues and also discovering reggae. Saw Tom Waits down at the Bijou Cafe and a lot of acts at the Spectrum... Clapton, Dylan, The Band, Santana, Zappa among others. That was the last time I've ever been to an arena for a concert. It's been strictly bars, clubs, parks, and theaters and to see music for me since then.
