I was at that show too. Saw James Taylor there when he had his first album out. In 1972, Leon Russell blew the doors off the place; maybe the best show I ever saw. Oh, forgot that Sly Stone "no showed" there around '71 also. We were pissed.
B jones... I did see Sly and the Family in the Civic Auditorium around that time too... It was cool, they hit the first notes on the first song and they disappeared. The crowd rushed the stage and was dancing all around the band. It was "FONKY" to say the least..
