Two of the backup guys were from Laurinburg: Fred Hubbard on bass and Jim Morgan on keyboard.

Wayne McManus was on drums that night.

He did play at Wait Chapel in September, 1972. And he used 3 students to back him up. Don't recall who they were. Great concert!

Sha Na Na also played at the chapel that year, but it was the relatively unknown opening act that stole the show. Anyone (RJK batsignal) remember who that was?

I saw Sha Na Na, but don't remember the opening act.

Hall and Oates. Darryl played a Steinway and John IIRC mostly acoustic guitar. I'd never heard of them and I doubt many others had, but in particular "Fall in Philadelphia" and "Lilly(Are You Happy)" were enough had the Wait crowd as loud and enthusiastic for any group I saw in my 4 years.

Hall and Oates....I didn't see your answer. They hung out with us and were amazed at opening for Sha Na Na.
