I also saw War with Eric Burdon at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. Floratina......Concerts were put on at the warehouse where they did the floats. I have a bunch of handbills put away somewhere that were put in our lockers at high school (near Whittier). Here is one I mounted and was accessable.....note the address and ticket prices. In the 70s you could go to a concert on your allowance money. We went to tons of them at the Santa Monica Civic like Johnny Winter-J. Geils Band-Little Feat......expensive seats up front were 6.50.....floor and sides 5.50....and our favorite, the risers for a whopping 4.50 for 3 good bands!......Black Sabbath at the Whiskey A Go Go for 8.00......

Perkins Palace is closer to the 210 Freeway. KMET used to have free concerts there in the late 70s/early 80s. Just write in to the radio station. Upcoming bands like Red Rider, Icehouse, Mink DeVille, Fabulous Poodles, etc. I fixed their leaking fire sprinkler on the stage and got some free tickets (Blue Oyster Cult, George Thorogood)

Zeppelin's first U.S. tour with another loud keybord player.....Brian Auger
