Saw them a couple times happy they were real hot for a while. I think they even played Shea Stadium. The band broke up and it wasn’t a good break up.
Here are a couple photos. I took the last time I saw Mark Farner

On July 4, 1976 I was with Commander Second Fleet on board, the USS Mount Whitney for the Bicentennial for the parade up and down the Hudson River… we took liberty boats, and then the subway to Yankee Stadium for Yanks vs KC Royals then to the Court Theater off Broadway for The Magic Show 1/2

The first time that I saw the dead was in 1967 and a free concert and Ann Arbor Michigan had no idea who they were and the only song that I recognize was Dancing in the Street because it was a Motown song

Finally a nice day 84* blue sky in Motown was able to get outside and work in the backyard
