Wow, Aerosmith and Deep Purple, both heavyweights of the 70’s calling it a career. I’m glad they’re able to go out on their own terms. God bless Edgar Winter as well. 20 years ago, I never would have believed that he would be touring in 2017. Stories of his health issues were widely speculated about. I love the rock that came out of the 70’s. So many great bands and great albums that we could listen to from beginning to end.
“Machine Head” and “Toys in the Attic” are absolute masterpieces.
No N. Cal show ? That blows
