I remember both of those concerts, vaguely...I believe Bob must have played there too. But my most memorable concert was The Rolling Thunder Review at the Patrick Gym; fall of 1975, I believe? Bob Dylan, The Band, Roger McGuinn, Joan Baez and a whole entourage of others, including the travelling poet, Allen Ginsberg, who sat near me. Also near me were Gerry Petrie and several monks from the Weston Priory. Both my folks were there too. What a night!

As for sneaking into the fair grounds, we did it for years through a hole near the St James Church. Later on we got bolder and just rushed the gate. I remember getting chased onto the midway one year. I crawled under a cotton candy cart; it was amazing that i didn't get electrocuted! For that matter, it was amazing that I survived the 70's!

Wow, Tim, you saw the Rolling Thunder Revue, in Burlington? I was in college already, so I missed that one.

My 1st Dylan concert was in Indianapolis, IN in '78. Since then I've seen him about four times in MN. The most recent one, on his "Love and Theft" tour, was the best.


One more memory: The night I saw The Band at the Fair, my date took me on the ferris wheel afterwards. It started to POUR down rain. The psychotic guy running the ferris wheel thought it very amusing to leave some of us up there. He literally let some people off, chose to leave a few of us on, made us go to the top, then he put the thing on hold and went into a tent where he took shelter from the rain/lightning!!!! I'm serious. I was so upset. Started crying, at first my date was laughing and then he realized we were in danger! What an awful ending to the night. Finally the ferris wheel guy let us down, but we had to walk home (it had been a nice night when we started out from home). We were soggy and in a bad mood. And it was my birthday. (Date shall remain nameless, EJHS class of '70, I believe).
