Been a while since I found some but here you go Ramones at the Whiskey a go go
Iron Butterfly formed in San Diego in 1966, seen here at a Love-In 1967 at Griffith Park, LA. the core of the band came from The Palace Pages, the house band at a club called The Palace, this band split over musical directions: older members went on to form Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, while younger guys—Danny Weis-guitar, Jack Pinney-drums, Greg Willis-bass, and Darryl DeLoach-vocals/tambourine joined with vocalist Doug Ingle (formerly of Jeri and the Jeritones) to form what would become Iron Butterfly. Pinney said the band took their name from a San Francisco-based group that failed to show up for a gig they both played, as they thought it sounded "heavy" yet "beautiful". they were part of the vanguard in America, re a seismic shift in music, an alternative to softer sounds of the era which dominated radio. the Brits gave North America The Kinks, The Animals, and The Yardbirds and the US responded with a new force of their own. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was a game changer.
1951 Fender Broadcaster (Nocaster); this guitar was given to Stevie by his brother Jimmy around 1966, after Stevie had found it discarded and in bits in a cupboard in the family home. Stevie put it back together and after Jimmy had given it to him, he added an extra pickup and changed the tone control into a second volume control. The guitar is inscribed "Jimbo" on the back of the body.
in 1951 Fender launched a new guitar, called the Broadcaster. It quickly became apparent that there was already a guitar on the market called a Broadcaster, so Fender had to stop using the name. Unfortunately they'd already made a lot of these guitars, so while they were deciding on a new name, these existing ones were sent to guitar stores, without a logo on the headstock. Fender soon decided on the replacement name of Telecaster and went with that. guitars that were shipped without a logo became colloquially known as the "Nocaster" and are collectors' items because they were only available for a few months. Jimbo is one of those guitars. in 1971, Stevie traded it for a '63 Epiphone Riviera, but after his rise to fame, he publicly begged for the guitar's return, pledging to pay whatever it took to buy it back, but no one came forward. It wasn't until the mid-2000s that the guitar was recognized for what it was, by a man called Loni Specter, a songwriter, photographer, and head of the Los Angeles Amp Show, who happened to see a session musician playing it.

Shelly Manne at Valentine studios using an umbrella.
''there were some problems with bleed through of Hal Blaine's drums at RCA, so his tech went out to a local store and bought the biggest beach umbrella he could find and mounted it over Hal’s drums. it worked, after that, Hal said everyone adopted using it.''

Soundgarden’s Ben Shepherd; “That bass ('72 Fender Jazz) belonged to the Wood brothers (Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone), I bought it to try out for Soundgarden and I played it on every Soundgarden record and every tour. I called it Tree because it was so heavy. At that time it felt like it weighed more than I did because I was scrawny as hell. Then my bass tech said, ‘This bass looks tiny on you.’ So I lowered the strap so it would look cooler, and I straightened out my arms so I could just use my fingers. That's why l always wore it long, and I'm tall enough to get away with it looking exaggeratedly long. I could still touch all the strings where I wanted, but you have to contour your body, and be willing to throw your whole body into it.”
