Looking back it was kinda primitive. The bands (there were several) came out, did maybe four or five numbers and then the next band came out. Everyone one of the players wore a suit and tie, I remember that much.
I remember Chicago playing here in '70. They had to give away tickets. I have seen them four or five times since. Still have that great sound and the trombonist is a hoot to watch.


Sure, I remember the Ventures, a clean, driving sound. One of my fav's when in high school.

You and I are neighbors by the way.
