Who do you remember playing in Central New York "back in the day"? I'm talking about the classic bands that played in the small clubs and high school gyms of the Mohawk Valley in the 70's and 80's.

I've heard stories about legendary performances by Orleans ("You're Still The One" & "Dance With Me") in the New Hartford High School Gym before those songs were big hits!  The story goes, they had to "borrow" equipment from local residents to pull off the show.  On the Facebook Group - "You Know You Are From New Hartford When..." we noticed these comments:

There were also lots of incredible shows at the Uptown Theater, The Stanley, The Aud along with all the great clubs around the area.  What shows do you remember seeing?
