Honest no fanboy discussion about our front 7

Something I've said since the day we drafted him, it's not all about Garrett. It's about how much attention he draws away from the rest of the defenders so they can make the plays. So far that has worked well in preseason. This UNIT just needs to keep playing the way they played all pre-season.
Total apologetic horseshit. If you fucking think a #1 #1 edge rushe was not drafted to make plays then you are a bigger jackoff than I thought.
Nobody is having to double team Garrett. He isn't drawing shit away from anyone. Joe Green, LC Greenwood, and Arrowhead Holmes didn't "draw" jac shit. THey killed QBs. Garrett was drafted to kill QBs, So far, he has been neutralized without having to be double teamed. This guy B L O W S.
, So far, he has been neutralized without having to be double teamed. This guy B L O W S.
Ur not watching the games he hasnt been neutralized. So far he's the only edge rusher on the team getting in the qb's space.

No, but basically unknown Lynard Skynards first big show was opening for the Who. Skynard almost stole the show.
No, that would not have happened at a Who concert. Not saying they weren't good, but they would not have "stolen the show".
I have been to a concert where the opening act "stole the show": KISS was the backup band to the New York Dolls. Allen Theater in Cleveland. Yep, only about 3000 in attendance.

Who, Grateful Dead, Hendrix and Janis Joplin all went on before the Mamas and Pappas.
The Mamas and Pappas were OK, but how they pulled that one off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monterey_Pop_Festival
The Mamas and Papas organized the whole Monterey Pop Festival.....THAT is why they got to be in a position to be the "headlining" act.

Since we've gotten off on a tangent talking about concerts- #1 greatest on my all time list? Allen Theater? Row #20- Pink Floyd before anyone really knew who they were. "Careful with that ax, Eugene" That Who concert at Public Hall is probably #2.
Biggest disappointment, not seeing Jimi before he died.

For me, maybe seeing Bruce from the 6th row, Akron Civic Theater. Also possibly Alice Cooper, Rubber Bowl....right up front , no more than like 15 feet from the front of the stage. Always better when you have front row seats. No matter how good the concert is, if you are in the nosebleed section its just not as good it seems.

Apparently if it's not a sack, it does not count...

In the small world vein.... I was at that Alice concert in Akron, but back in the stands. Was ~20 back on the field center stage for the Yes concert... which was one of my Top 5.
5. Bruce opened for Wishbone Ash at the Allen Theater... won the tix on WMMS plus two copies of Wishbone Ash's double live LP, Live Dates.
4. Alice in the Public Auditorium... about row 15 just a little right of center... The J. Geils Band opened.
3. Yes - Maha - Eagles in the Rubber Bowl.
2. Santana in the Public Aud... decent floor seats... we were standing on the backs of the seats... I can't remember the opening act.
1. David Bowie's American concert debut... Cleveland Music Hall... the Ziggy tour.

Ive heard KISS was a good show.
Skynard rocked the house.
Skynyrd may have, but no one has done it like The Who.

Did that actually happen? Would be right up there with Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks opening for Steppenwolf... (Fall, '71 in Cleveland Public Auditorium... it wasn't pretty...).
Yup, remember that fiasco- I was there. Dan and the band got booed off the stage.
James Taylor opening for The Who. The crowd booed him. Pete Townshend admonished the crowd for doing so. (I still would have booed James Taylor)
If that was the same one I was at you forgot the opening warm up band. The James Gang with Joe Walsh. Taylor was sandwiched in the middle. BTW, The Who put on an incredible show. The energy had everyone standing the entire concert.
There were some strange combos that time frame. Before the Eagles hit it big they were warmup bands for groups like Humble Pie, and (I think) Black Sabbath.

I once saw the Outlaws at JCU and there was a guy named Charlie Wiener(I think) who got unmercifully booed off the stage....he sucked bad and was happy to see him leave, but I still felt for the guy....

Saw Johnny Rivers in concert in his prime with a full orchestra. Great live concert.
A few years later saw him again live with a two man backup. They played a 5 miin. medley of his hits and then went into some stuff he/they had written and got booed right off the same stage he had been so great at those few years before. Stunk up the joint so bad even the medley sucked.

I bought Tedeshi Trucks 2016 CD release after seeing them on ACL... good stuff, but recording's SQ is "off"...

Yeah, but can he drive a truck?
Some girl took me to a country western dance place one night in rural N Bryan and this country and western gal sang a little song she said was gonna come out on a record soon.
Something about a coal miner's daughter or some such. That little gal could sure sing. Who knew? LOL!

... rural N Bryan...
"Rural" is a tad superfluous here isn't it? Even today, let alone the late-60's...

Rural used to start at the railroad tracks at Wellborn Road in C.S. Now there's so many new fangled buildings I tend to get lost. Thank God Kyle Field is a lot more visible from the parking in outer Mongolia now. Used to be a sheep farm out there. ("They got lot of nice girls there"-ZZ Top).
