  •  Sanborn and Jools Holland (2+ / 0-)

    had a show called "Friday Night" as I recall.  They tried to have it be both US and UK but it had tech glitches.  Sanborn wound up running it and he had everyone good on it.  It was great--and naturally it lasted two years.

    Those Detroit shows were famous.  Those three on the same bill would have been mind bending.  

    I lived in the Haight-Ashbury in the great days and I used to go to the Filmore and the Avalon Ballroom and the Carosel Ballroom.  The wierdest show was Albert King and Blue Cheer.  On one bill was Woody Herman, the Greatful Dead and Muddy Waters.

    Around two corners from me was the Flame Lounge with solid middle aged African-American men in turtle necks, tweed sport coats and gold chains.  They tolerated me when I went in there in my hippy clothes to see T-Bone Walker.
