Lot of bands I never really heard at the time, just saw the pictures. I read an entire book about Kiss without hearing them ( they were a bit disappointing as well, although I wasn’t as far wide of the mark). I remember reading quite a lot about ZZ Top in Sounds and then getting to watch them on OGWT, exceeded my expectations and I’ve loved them ever since.
And I’ve still never heard Policeman With a Loaf of Bread.
As @EricTheWeary has said, I saw the posters, the hair, the guitars... I also had a book called "West Coast Story" in which I read about bands like Alice Cooper, the Beach Boys, the Doors and the Grateful Dead several years before I ever heard their music. It had pictures of the Dead on stage with big lava-lamp light shows...
I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting. Not a proto-metal band, but certainly something intense, trippy and psychedelic. And BASSY! I guess something a bit like Iron Butterfly, or early Pink Floyd maybe? And then to hear the reality - not that I've heard very much, even now - with that light, almost country-ish feel. I really don't like "Americana", and it seems closer to that kind of sound than I ever imagined it would.
I'll check out the series on Prime, thanks to the chap that first mentioned it.
Nic picture, I remember seeing that on the Bob Weir documentary, he walks around inside trying to remember who lived in what room...said it was a bit hazy
