Oughta be a plenty short set, even with 11 songs.  Imagine going to a concert as short as this one...you'd be bummed.

Who opened?  Was it the Moody Blues?

I think it was Barry and the Remains, from Boston--and for some reason Martha and the Vandellas are coming to mind.

OK, one out of three: The Remains, Cyrkle, and the Ronettes:

So technically this makes two 1966 sets in 5 weeks.  We had gone years without a 1966 set until the end off 2004.

Welcome to San Francisco in August, Paulie.

Interesting, in that the Remains were unknowns, and the Ronettes were old news by '66.  And the Cyrkle had had -- what? -- 2 hits?

I don't think it really mattered who they hired--they wanted bands that would work cheap. No one paid their $5.50 to see the Remains.

Geoff, can you give a little perspective on this?

BTW, I just noticed that the bottom of that poster reads: "plus 2 other acts to be determined."  Locals, perhaps? The Beau Brummels, maybe?

Cool: the Foghead winner was actually THERE at Candlestick in '66.

Less than cool: Annalisa offered her solo Paul "That Would be Something" but the woman wanted... "Let 'em In". But Annalisa played the live version for some reason, so that's something.

I'll never forgive myself for not going.  Tickets were available, and I loved the Beatles, but I guess at the time I thought if I went, all I would hear would be screaming girls!  I don't remember anything about the backing groups either.
