Concerts

I went to a lot of rock concerts during the latter half of the 80's, when I was in college.  As one friend of mine later on said to me when I recounted this a while after graduating: "Didn't anyone bother to tell you that your grade point average is inversely and proportionally related to the number of concerts you go to while in school?"  :)

One concert I have particularly fond memories of was the Yes concert I went to at the Worcester Centrum in December of 1987.  Now, besides what a great performance Jon, Trevor, Rick, Tony, etc. put on, was the fact that I was completely sick as a dog the night of that show.  What compelled me to get up and go to that show is beyond me.  But go I did, and it really was one of the better performances I saw out of all the Centrum concerts I attended during my time at Clark.  Every one of those guys is just such an incredible musician.  And this was during just about the height (maybe a few years following) their mainstream Top 40 popularity.
