You should do a separate post so more folks can enjoy this classic.

In 1971 or 72, I saw them perform. Afterwards through a couple friends who were associated with the arena we met some of the band and staff.

I vividly remember Sly, wearing a flashy black and purple satin jacket walking down the hall straight towards me. I was surprised, very shy but managed a quick hello and smile. They were so cooool!! and I was so young..
