yrs old. My dad didn't want me (and a friend) going to the big, Ole bad East Village at night so he drove us down, parked, and waited for the show to finish.
It irked me at the time, but kind of sweet in a way.

▪︎The Allman Brothers Band (w Duane)
(don't remember who was 2nd bill, possibly The Edgar Winters Band, or they were a different show)

▪︎A Benifit Auction ?with a musical guest or two of Rock & Roll Items to help fund Anti-Viwtnam War Groups. A fun night!

▪︎ Best of all (I'd already'd seen them 3Xs in '68) in Oct '69 - The Who playing Tommy with The Joshua Light Show! Sooo powerful!
