The "Solos" Tour - Providence Civic Center - Thursday, June 10th, 1976
(noted on ticket stub that this was the best concert I had seen, up to date. Writing this now (Feb 27th, 2008, I'd have to say that it was one of the best concerts EVER. hey used a MULTI-COLORED laser show - the ONLY time I have ever seen this done. We were dead center and very close (only 8 rows back). After the show, we met Steve Howe and Jon Anderson, and talked with both of them. We also saw Patrick Moraz and Alan White (right near us, but talking with another group of fans). Chris Squire was whisked off in a limo, but we did see him go right by us.
