Comments
Blue Plate Special!
New England + General Admission = Insane Giant Dance Party. Caught us by surprise when they started earlier than the advertised 7:30 time. Later we heard this was a response to the venue's insistence that they finish by 11:00 pm. What other band in the world would do that? GBTGOGD!
Listen to the music play!
Another Franklin's Tower? Why not? I'm starting to love this tune. And this venue. Spent time before show time with about thousand other heads rooting around in the sand-duney woods getting blasted out of my mind.
Best ever GD moment
Do you remember how the space feedback formed into Stella Blue I think it was just magic
This show
A senior in a local high school that year, I was deliriously happy on some perfect mushrooms both nights, and became convinced that the guys played superbly that evening. Finally, finally found the shows on archive.org, and frankly, the Franklin's from this second CCC show was quite extraordinary.
I assumed that there would be more shows to come, but alas, other than some mighty good JGB and a miracle Bobby & the Midnites at this same venue in June 81, I never saw them again.
Still, these shows wer, and are terrific.
