7 Day Wayback Music Challange - Day 5 (Version 2): First Live Album

I was nominated into the 7-Day Wayback music challenge by @detlev which was very nice of him. This will be my second shot at this challenge, having done one after @verhp11 challenged me a few weeks ago. Based on my past music posts and comments on his posts I guess he thought I would have something of value to offer this challenge so I am eager to see if I indeed do. This challenge made me really have to start thinking about the way back indeed. I grew up in the 70's and early 80s so that was a while ago.

And so here we are go again for a Day#5 of the challenge. I love these kinds of challenges, I have so many music related memories, and it is great I can write about them. Music has always been a big part of my life and still is, even today as an "oldster"!!

Another from my high school days for this one, more of a general memory, Three Dog Night was an early favorite band of mine after their big hit "Joy To The World". The first Three Dog Night album I bought was actually a live album, which had some funky gate folds, called Around the World with Three Dog Night. If you look at writing credits, a lot of their hits were written by other artists. Hoyt Axton of Hee Haw fame wrote "Joy to the World" and "Never Been to Spain", Russ Ballard wrote "Liar", Randy Newman wrote "Mama Told Me Not To Come", Dave Loggins wrote "Pieces of April" to name a few. I am going with a song off that album that is written by the band, Jam, a rocker.

Three Dog Night - Jam Live

The studio version of that song is pretty good also.

The rules:

• Choose one song from your high-school/college years.
• Write a few words about who made you listen to this song for the first time, what this song means to you (was it a breakup song? you blasted it at 100% on your audio system when you were partying with your friends?) whatever you want.
• Write your text while listening to the song. As soon as the song ends, wrap up what you where writing and submit it.
• Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated
• Mention one person who should do this on each day.
• Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post

I nominate @cryptictruth for this challenge, I have no idea if he is up for it or liked music so lets see. Don't feel obligated to do it cryptic.
