That he was.

Spartan Stadium, April 22, 1979. On my list of all time epic shows, and so many after that. His lose was huge.

Hard to imagine he would be 70 had he lived.

 

Brent's first, Spartan in that photo.  I saw him a few days later at Lafayette College in Easton, PA--I think his 5th show and was just blown away by the B3 and how he threw himself into his playing.  After years of watching Keith kind of nod-off some night, Brent opened up a whole new world.  Had a beer with him in the Go Ahead era post show. My last Brent was 1990 when CSN opened in Buffalo--then he was dead shortly after.  Miss him dearly

The infamous Branford Nassau show was my last Brent show. I was super tired from a long day at work and the long drive to Nassau( 2 1/2 hours). Got a  ticket in the lot but was super tired to enjoy it much. Next night was broadcast on WNEW and IMO blew away the Branford show!! A few days later I was traveling in India.

i got a louie louie at one of my 1st shows + a good lovin'....sold.
