Two or three of the band members at that time were students or recent grads of TWHS. I was shooting baskets at a local grade school when we heard the booming sound of the music and followed it to the TWHS gym. Couldn't get in. Place was packed.


First concert was in Las Vegas at UNLV stadium to see ACE open for YES in June of 1975. We traveled to SDCA so my mom could settle an estate after a death. On the return trip, we stopped in Vegas for 2 days. My Mom loved the slots.

Anyway, I can still feel the desert breeze in my face as ACE opened with "How Long" (has this been going on?) and the vocals of Jon Anderson and Chris Squire of YES as the sun set over the desert.

Time marches on, but that memory is as vivid as the day it happened. .
