I am in the middle of doing a blog about concerts I've attended in the old days, and the thing that got me going was this one:

The reason it came to my attention was because Wolfgang's features the Chambers Bros from that date, a gig I went to.

Quote from: Wolfgang's

This show captures The Chambers Brothers at the tail end of their first major North American tour, happy to be back home in California and playing between Richie Havens and Buffalo Springfield.

Only thing is, Buffalo Springfield broke up just before the gig, and The Chambers Bros headlined (hottest band around at the time) and Albert King filled in for BS.
