NAME this performer

[freeringo]

I saw a concert at Stanford Maples Pavillion in the mid 80's
where the leal vocals of the his band came on stage and
played solo guitar for over 30 minutes without is band.
He captivated the audience and then 1 by 1 introduced the band.
Can you guess who this performer is?

Hints:
He appeared on Saturday night live more than once.

I am not giving any chips away but I will give a special prize to the winner.
I will write 200 words or more why the winner is a better poker player than me. That is priceless.

2nd hint later today

I saw him at LA forum in 1976
He is too big for the Maples Pavillion

[freeringo]

I believe it was 1983 and I wasn't on the floor.
Robert Plant on Saturday Night Live?

[thenutzaa1]

any correct answers yet

[freeringo]

Winner

Woohoosue guessed Frank Zappa correctly.

The next hint was that we dated a Conehead.

Yes Frank Zappa played without his band for over 30 min
and had the crowd on the edge of their seats.
It also was his Panty and bra tour and girls threw their
under garments at the stage. By far, Frank Zappa is the
best entertainer I have ever seen.

YouTube - Frank Zappa-Stinkfoot live 1974

YouTube - Frank Zappa Shreds

I will have your prize written up before the end of tonights game.

Good Job

Dam I missed this one and I knew the answer too. Just one thing can you give a idea of the time you do the next one. This is so everyone will know when to be in the forum. Thanks

[woohoosue]

did eejit give us a time?...nooooo ....

[freeringo]

Freeringo's worst nightmare unfolds as he attempts to
glorify Woohoosue for her ability to outwit him in
everything he endevors to do. Not only does she have
freeringo's number on the poker table, she seems to
know before he does every answer to every important question
in the universe. She can take a 10-3 off suit and make him believe
she is holding the nuts. She can slow roll freeringo and he doesn't even know
she's doing it. In fact freeringo is so dumb, he still doesn't realize he was
slow rolled 3 times yesterday. Woohoosue is licking her chops right now,
anticipating sitting right behind freeringo in tonight freeroll. She knows
he will push her blinds, and she will be waiting to pounce. She delights
in the thought of freeringo overplaying his AJ and she will bust him,
like she has so many times, with her delicate 5-3 off suit. Grinning as
she knows the end is near, freeringo will make some pathetic jester, like
praying, to win a hand on faith and luck, instead of say maybe some
basic poker skills. Ahhhh, the pure enjoyment of watching her fish in her very own fish tank.

[KaciBlakely]

I would try to outwit everyone but can't so there's no reason to even try lol.

I'd try but it might be death when I realize I'm not witty!

The tragedy!
