I'm going to be straight up honest;I don't remember many of the songs that CC played that night.They opened for Leon Russell and I don't recall them sounding bad,I just wasn't too familiar with their stuff. .I do remember that the crowd went crazy when they played "Hot Rod Lincoln." Years later I revisited their music and like it's my appreciation of them has increased over time.

One of the first concerts I ever attended.I was only 14 but had a brother that was 13 years older than me so I grew up listening to his records of groups like Canned Heat,Hendrix,Joe Cocker,Leon Russell,etc.. so I knew some of his music.It was an awesome concert and I remember him sitting at his piano wearing his cowboy hat in the spotlight, and playing some of his best tunes.

StevenFlorida was there 100% for AC/DC · Thu, 15 Dec 1977
17 years old, went to see Styx.I had never heard of the opening band.I was right up front and ready to listen to some nice jams.Then the stage just erupted, and the band
started throwing out tunes I had never heard but I liked it.The lead guitarist was dressed like a schoolboy and the lead singer was like a wild man.Suddenly the spotlights were in my eyes,I heard the crowd roar as Bon Scott came running by me with Angus Young on his shoulders, playing his guitar and almost bowling me over as he brushed by me.
It still ranks as the most intense performance I have ever seen and I'm glad I was able to catch them when they were young,hungry,and up and coming.
When Styx took the stage they gave a decent performance but IMHO they were upstaged by the lads from Oz.
