Lots of readers wanted to comment on having seen Jimi Hendrix play the Civic Center (now the First Mariner Arena, and soon to be replaced) back in the day:

"That concert was unforgettable," writes Larry Koppelman. "Jimi had me and the audience mystified. I was a garage band guitar player and both me and my friend were ready to give away our guitars after seeing the way he could play . . . Red House house was one of the better numbers that evening.  it was Mother's Day soon and Jimi kept kidding Noel Redding about how he had his own special connotation about how to celebrate Mother's Day.  But also, I saw the Rolling Stones at the Civic Center. Keith and Mick played three or four acoustic numbers,  just the two of them with one guitar. I especially enjoyed Mick's big stovepipe hat and long red scarf. His first words to the audience?  How is everyone in BALLLLLL-timore!?"
