Geezer Butler autobiography Into the Void has this passage from Chapter 3, Something at the Door, under the heading The Devil in Music; A breakthrough came in May 1969, when I saw King Crimson at Mothers club. As part of their set, they played a version of "Mars," from Gustav Holst's Planets suite. I was dumbfounded, couldn't believe what I was hearing. The following day, I went out and bought The Planets on LP, and I couldn't get enough of "Mars, the Bringer of War". I'd never had much of an interest in classical music, but this was angrier and more menacing than most rock music I'd ever heard. At our next rehearsal, I was playing the main part, the so-called tritone, on bass, when Tony started playing a tritone riff (in medieval times, the tritone, because of its sinister, foreboding sound, was known as diabolus in musica, or "the devil in music"). That song would eventually become Black Sabbath.

Folk musician and photographer Henry Diltz, who has photographed basically every soft rock star of the 1960s. Henry Diltz is also a skilled musician: he played the banjo on America's song Don't Cross The River, from their 1972 album Homecoming.
Two nights in a row…
Richard Thompson, solo*…
24 hours later, Marshall Crenshaw and band(Derrick Anderson on bass)…
Considering RT's vast catalog of songs, it was surprising that he did play "Valerie", a track from Daring Adventures(1986) that Crenshaw later covered, so I was hoping for the novelty of hearing it again a second time, but no dice.
*occasional vocal harmonies by his new partner, Zara Phillips

The group he was in, the Modern Folk Quartet, ironically sounded more like the Beach Boys on this…
I met him once at a wedding(he was doing the shoot), very friendly and approachable guy.
Randy Bachman, with the previously lost (well stolen) Gretsch…

Leon Russell & Mary McCreary first Day On The Green August 5, 1973 Oakland Alameda County Coliseum
once there was a brief beach scene in Venice, CA that helped spark the '60s Rock scene from the surf era, to The Doors with Morrison's first dramatic stage collapse, and Frank Zappa discovering Alice Cooper there, into the birth of the '70s. then up in smoke it went and all was nearly forgotten.
sitting at the divide of Santa Monica on the North side (the Cage; surf spot to pioneer shooting the pier in the '50s) & Venice Beach (the Cove / Dogtown) below was old Lick Pier right at Navy St., the main attraction being it's POP fun zone. the adjacent Aragon Ballroom saw WW2 Big Bands and later Lawrence Welk's hit TV show bring huge crowds. in '67 it became The Cheetah club for early psychedelic R&R with the nearby Beach House becoming a home for Black Oak Arkansas c1970.
an overview showing the entrance to POP / Pacific Ocean Park at upper right, the beach surf, race car track, and Ocean Highway sky ride platform at upper left. the Aragon Ballroom / Cheetah club is the lower left oval with the Beach House in front of it at lower right. the little outdoor stage at center left had all the surf bands, girl groups, and Pop / Soul bands of the early '60s, with Paul Revere and the Raiders as the zone's house band and TV shows like Where The Action Is being shot there. this aquatic version of Disneyland vs Knott's Berry Farm had as much going for it as those except for easy maintenance and local political support, rust never slept nor did City redevelopment plans. the whole shebang burned down in 1975 and the Dogtown scene erupted from it's ashes as a backdrop.
