Memory:Scott Thomas
I regret missing my first opportunity to see GG when they came to Widener University, Chester PA, in 1978 (Missing Piece Tour). I remember the concert being advertised as getting several dollars off the admission price if you brought in some canned food for a local charity. GG was a socially conscious band !! :).
I eventually did catch them next time around at the Tower Theater in May 1980. By then I had every album up to the Missing Piece . The audience was all hard core GG and absolutely hated the New Wave band that opened, which by the way, did not complete their set - I felt sorry for them. The GG set wasted valuable time by including numbers from the last 2 albums. However, the place erupted when GG segued into Freehand. The 5 guitars on "Memories of Old days" and "On Reflection" stands out. The encore was the Advent of Panurge, I had been hoping all night to hear it.
