How I Became A Badfinger Fan

I became a fan in 1970 via the beatle connection, but the songs all stand on their own i was able to buy all the records on vinyl as they were released magic Christian through say no more. i consider myself one of the lucky ones that was able to see badfinger in 1973 with all original band members. i saw them in Dayton Ohio at hara arena they opened up for the guess who. but believe me i went to see badfinger. being 25 years ago and being a star struck teenager it is hard to remember everything about the show. but Pete's songs sticks out the most. they opened up with baby blue, i remember how blown away i was when Tommy hit all those high notes in take it all, and of coarse there was day after day. i do remember they closed with long tall sally, a strong Beatle connection there for sure. shocked for sure when Pete died i didn't know Tommy died until i read the liner notes in best of volume 2 . they were really underrated. i miss them to this day. thank god for people like Dan Mantovina who is helping keep the music alive and available
