I’m sure this will get moved but we’re any if you old (er) timers at this show?

The music version of buying Microsoft in 1981.

I didn't know of the Chad Mitchell trio's affiliation to Gonzaga. I saw them in '64 or '65 in Santa Barbara...a beautiful, smallish amphitheater, outdoor venue, along with Peter, Paul and Mary.

Really want to know about Led Zeppelin's trip to Spokane in a blizzard and the trying to get across the pass for a Seattle read their roadies book on it! It was their 2nd or 4th US concert! Google it. I was there! “In the days of my youth I was told what it means to be a man....” the wife knows everything that ever happened with that band! The Winter of 68 was like non other if any of you remember that. Shoveling snow for a few hours before class every morning.
Rumor has it Honest Abe ran out of Med school money so he put on a show with them for a 90-10 split . Rumor has it Abe made enough on the 10% to pay tuition for a year! Those were the days when everything was possible!

Somewhere there is an interview with Don Fitzpatrick (RIP) about this.

As I remember they were supposed to be the New Yardbirds and became Led Zeppelin...
