I saw Seals and Crofts at Manley, I want to say Fall of '70 opening for John Sebastian if I recall. It could have been someone else that they opened for. I don't think they were well-known at that point but I seem to remember that I had seen them on The Smothers Brothers.

I saw them in Edmonton in 1976 or 77, right after Get Closer came out. They did a decent show.

They were big time. I think it was my first or second concert ever, I saw them at SPAC. A lot different time. Always reminded me of happy, summertime music.
