Default I'd never heard of this band BUT ...

This thread is for remembering the first time you saw a band you had NEVER HEARD OF but that completely blew you away.

For me it was Labor Day weekend 1969. The Texas International Pop Festival, two weeks after Woodstock.

I was familiar with most of the groups playing during the three-day show; I was especially looking forward to Chicago Transit Authority (just Chicago after the lawsuit), Janis Joplin (who I had seen several times in Austin), BB King and Nazz with their excellent singer Todd Rundgren.


What I wasn't expecting was the music from three groups I had NEVER HEARD OF: Grand Funk Railroad (it cou!d have been the hash, but I still love them), Santana (this WAS 2 weeks after Woodstock) and Led Zepplin (when I got back to Austin I didn't call my girlfriend, I went to a record store).
I still have those three first albums Santana, Led Zepplin and Grand Funk Railroad.
