Being a self proclaimed 70's junkie, I wanted to see Edgar Winter & Leon Russell, but something came up on Friday night and I was not able to make that show.
I wanted to hone my craft and take some pictures of a live band so I opted for Saturday's double header Ambrosia and Three Dog Night.
I have heard of Ambrosia before, I mean I knew ONE of their songs
You're The Only Woman (♪♫ I know you're the only woman that I'm dreamin' of You're the only woman that I really love ♪♫)
Halfway through the show I realized I knew more of their songs than I realized.
How Much I Feel
(♪♫ That's how much I feel, Feel for you, baby ♪♫)
Biggest Part of Me
(♪♫ Make a wish, baby, well, and I will make it come true, Make a list, baby
Of the things I'll do for you, Ain't no risk, now, In lettin' my love rain down on you,
So we could wash away the past, So that we may start anew ♪♫)
And many other songs, I was no way disappointed by this show.
I also learned something during this show. Bruce Hornsby (Walking in Memphis, The Way It Is & Mandolin Rain) fame was discovered by Ambrosia and had been a member of the band for a while.
Mr. Hornsby was at the show and poked his head out of the wings for a hello wave.

I can ramble for an hour here but I want to make one point.
Danny Hutton... 71 years old, sang for an hour and a half, came out for an encore and belted out those ICONIC 4 words as if he recorded it last week.
