My folks were out there in the valley as well. Rent control, great view, close to the beach - I was in one place for 13 years!

Wow small world! My first apartment was at the end of Pico, but mostly on 7th off Ocean Park.

Pancho Sanchez -Besame Mama

I lived in Santa Monica, CA for almost 20 years in the 80’s & 90’s. They had a great summer concert series on the pier, with an eclectic lineup. I saw Poncho there several times, always an A+ show

Fun times!

Likewise! And was a Mets fan growing up (until they beat my Sox in the 86 Series) 🤣 I grew up in Connecticut and moved to SoCal in the late 70’s.

No doubt!

Ha ha, that is awesome! What’s that saying…Great Minds Think Alike 🤣 I had a t-shirt from the first album back in the day, but that one got shredded. Don’t think I have a pic of that.

Northwest Larry @northwestlarry.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah they played at my school. Easy commute and the price was nice! Fun weekend!

Northwest Larry @northwestlarry.bsky.social · 1d

Ha-ha I’m sure they did! 😀

Northwest Larry @northwestlarry.bsky.social · 1d

Aye Mon, Mr. Dave is the best! How fun, getting to stay for both shows. I have this sticker on my guitar case. 👊🏼🎼☮️

I hope your wife is recovering on schedule. Take care.

Whoops forgot about the prog rock today! Yes, I was also a big Yes fan 1973/74 Yes album, Fragile etc. I saw them in concert 12/74 and was kind of bored…My musical taste was changing and I was getting into Little Feat, Bruce, Bromberg, Van, Ziggy, Lou, etc and that was kind of the end of Yes for me.

Wow, didn’t know that! I always thought Ridin in My Car was a great single. Here’s a poster from back in the day, either 76 or 77.

Bruce Springsteen - Final show Born in the USA Tour

Taj Mahal - McCabe’s

After big stadium shows that week, it was a pleasure seeing Taj at McCabe’s (150 seats) from the front row! Bonus: The Blues Busters (Paul Barrere, Catfish Hodge & Freebo) were the opening act!
