Remember the 60's...how about where you were at, at the height of Haight-Asbury. Wasn't the music great....Love Power....Make Love not War! was the dominate feeling at that time....Well lets relive a taste of those days...I was in San Francisco, New York and in Central Florida during the summer of love 1967-1968, here's some memories you'll love. Bands, music, crowds, Pete Townsend and his flying guitar at Curtis Hixon Hall, Tampa, Fl. in a sold out auditorium 1967. Step back in time with us and remember the 'good ole dayzes' .
The WHO & the Rascals. Keith Moon the man was insane on a set of drums. This was taken in Orando. "The Rascals" (at right) opened, I think at the old skating rink on Orange Ave sometime in 1966, that place had 1940s & 50s concerts with the big bands of the day. Also had a community pool beside it. A lot of history in that place...Blue Cheer and others.. Now what was I saying....oh yea..Keith was a blowout that nite. Also caught them in New York for the premier of "Tommy A Rock Opera" in 1968 at Bill Grahams "Filmore East" More on that story later...... Thought I'd never make it thru the payote trip...thanx to the indian guide I was looking for buffalos half the nite......and purple microdots--we all flew !
So...heres my detention class @WP High circa 1967 (Orlando Youth Center) LOL. Notice the ladies setting at their desks. My three brothers Mike, Tom and Mikey. Mike Darby, Floyd Radford and Mike Logan went on to open with Johnny Winters in the 70s or 80s not sure the date.. Sex - Drugs - Rock n Roll till the wee hours of the morning! You wouldn't believe some of the stories Mikey brought back....Like the one where all the room was nak....I'll tell it later.
Did Pete really catch it? Yes he did! This image was caught in St Petersburgh, Fl around 1968. The old Curtis Hixon Auditorium. A lot of great music came outta there. Anybody who was anybody seemed to play there in soldout crowds (photo courtesy of John Malarky).
Tommy Devore - Gary Redwine - Mike Darby - Glenn Coleman - and me, Bobby"State of Mind"
Well, here's one of me. Early 1967 at a club on Pine St in Downtown Orlando (TiKi Lounge?). Remember the Wednesday nites Jam Sessons. It was about all the entertainment in Orlando.
Oh! can't forget the rest of the guys........Look Up !
