This fan memory was written by G. R. Mich.

I think it was 1974-75, some friends and I(who were GG "freaks")drove to Flint Michigan(150 miles) to see GG. When we got there, we discovered that FOGHAT was headlining! We didn't like Foghat even then! But anyway, GG came out and opened with "In a glass house". We were in heaven, as we were front row center! But what happened amazed us!

We must have been the only GG fans in the place! The croud started BOOING GG! They wanted to party down and boogie to Hogfat! But, the funniest part, the bassist of GG did a solo, and when the crowd was booing him, he made his bass say "Fuck you" to the crowd! I think he used his volume knob to say that by rotating it somehow! Too funny.

We were turning around in our seats looking at the people like "what is wrong with you," but they didn't care. They were busy throwing cups and booing!
