Geeze, dude! I missed that one. I would have LOVED to see Dillard & Clark! But I did see some of the others, Linda and Jethro, of course, and: Illinois Speed Press Venice Beach Venice 4/20/69 Southwind Olympic Auditorium Los Angeles 12/31/69 Chicago (Transit Authority) The Shrine Los Angeles 11/9/68 Did you go to shows at the Shrine? What a way to learn about rock'n'roll! For sure the only way I could've remembered this stuff was to keep a list.
