I should have said— NO LATE SHOW—.
No early show. Taj Mahal opened around 7:00 p.m. I’m guessing : then ABB.
If you listen to this show you will notice that the band is frustrated by the lack of crowd support. Pittsburgh crowds at this time were all about geting high not the music. Plus I think they were not prepared for the music of this band. They knew they were good but couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. “In my opinion” They were much more responsive in October.
Heard on a local radio show (Pittsburgh) that Little Richard was also on the show that eve.
Wanted to go to this concert real bad. My brother was stationed in the Mayport naval yard in Jacksonville & saw them many times & he was going with a few friends but it was my first day in the local steel mill. Scheduled midnight & I could not call off-my father would have had a fit on me.
On YDLM, its cool, Duane plays a Voodoo Chile tease, onmy copy its almost exactly 12:00 on the clock
Usual ’71 set. Yeah, it’s a good show. I prefer shows that ends with the all time finale..Mountain Jam.
