Just loved those mid-afternoon California shows.

This was a hometown show for me at the time cause we were staying at a house in Ben Lomond.

Drove up with beautiful Stacy from CSUF. Was an excellent weekend :) Great show. I took some 35mm slides, they came out great. Very colorful. I remember the fairgrounds were right next to a cemetery. Hi Stacy; if you read this, I'd love to hear from you.

I remember the whole band wearing sunglasses in the second set,because the sun was setting directly behind the audience.

...were among the many memories of this show. Remember only 1 or 2 ticket sales locations, long lines wih many upset heads, many of whom who crashed a few fences/barriers, and little staff knowledgable to deals with the throng.


Dosed as we drove in the lot, remember warm, sunny day with peakin' comin' fast... yet no way in. Heck when we finally got in the place(2nd to last song of the 1st set), the place was barely 1/2 full, stands to the rear and right were full, GA "floor" was wide open, a true rarity at any dead show.

Even remember having to pass long concession lines and latrines before the break into the concert area. Lots of dancing, sunglasses, and wind. Remember sneakin' "backstage via a natural building corner break with a fence heavily entwined with vines... watching within 6 feet Linda Ellerbee of all CBS fame interview Mickey, then Jerry after the show(taped it yet one of my first...miserable quality), then joined in on the bar-be-que and coped a few autographs from Brent, Phil, and Bill.

The final score was collecting two(2) of the bright yellow "STAFF" shirts that had a wonderful skeleton at the beach motif with beach umbrella, play pail/toys, and inflatibles to complete the scene up against a fenced dune background. Jus wish I was smaller to fit into it today - Still have it !!

Ahhhhh, let the good times roll....
