Santa Monica Memories!

J.R. Farrow recently re-discovered these great pics of MTB, circa 1974, after losing them in a move in 1993.  When he first came across them he was afraid that being in the garage for 9 years - exposed to heat, humidity, cold, and everything else a garage might contain - that they would be ruined... but they look as good as new!  The show, he thinks, was in May at the Civic Center.  He said, "I saw Marshall Tucker there twice (no photos the second time unfortunately) and the Eagles once (another great concert!).  It's the best place for a concert I've ever been because it's like a large movie theater and the acoustics are just about perfect". 
         
      These shots were taken from about 10 or 12 rows from the stage with a Vivatar 135mm f1.5 professional lens (using slide film).  I hope you enjoy them, they are about the best I've ever seen of early MTB!

J.R. also got some great pics of the opening band - thought you might like to see them as well!

Thanks for the memories, J.R. - FANTASTIC pics!
