I've posed this question before re. the above photo. On the left hand side there appears to be a guy taking cine film of the band and on the right hand side someone appears to be taking photos of the band.

Anyone got any ideas or even better, know where the footage is?  Or is it in private hands waiting for someone to bid mega bucks for it ?

Mothers: when the world's most important rock 'n' roll club was in Brum
Remembering when a small two room club above a furniture store in Erdington was the centre of the rock 'n' roll universe. By Blaise Radley (and his dad)
Date published: 1st Jul 2019

“I sometimes get mail from younger people who live in Erdington who are amazed to hear that for a few years, the best club in Britain - and it was, because I went to most of them - was right here in Birmingham.” John Peel

Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Black Sabbath, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Genesis, The Who, Family, Jethro Tull, King Crimson. At first glance this is a relatively rote list of some of the most significant alternative talent that rose to prominence in the late ‘60s; undeniably great sure, but hardly about to set the world alight. Now imagine that all of those bands played in a small two room club above a furniture store in Erdington, a suburb of Birmingham, and it reads a little differently.

Even though its doors were only open for two and a half years between 9 August 1968 and 3 January 1971, Mothers has a reputation that looms large over the West Midlands. Returning to the site of its commemorative Blue Plaque it’s hard to picture a group of long haired revellers gathered outside getting ready to see Keith Moon hit some skins. And yet the plaque rings out loud and clear: ‘Voted World’s Best Rock Venue 1969 & 1970’.

An Awesome Arena: 60 years of rocking out at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex
By Eddie Huffman Jul 1, 2019 Updated 8 hrs ago

The Greensboro Coliseum Complex has seen a lot of history in its 60 years, including a campaign appearance by Richard Nixon in 1960, N.C. State’s national basketball championship in 1974, and an unprecedented five-night stand by country music superstar Garth Brooks in 2014. A “Holiday on Ice” show launched the Coliseum on Oct. 29, 1959, and in the succeeding six decades, it has presented ACC basketball tournaments, monster truck rallies, U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Carolina Cougars and UNCG basketball games, circuses, arena football games, and much more.

Link

Jethro Tull — Nov. 8, 1971

A friend of Parke Puterbaugh’s bought them front-row center seats for this Coliseum show, and a music journalist was born.

“It was a life-changing experience,” says Puterbaugh. “J. Geils was so powerful and fun with their R&B-fueled rock and Peter Wolf’s showmanship. Then out comes Tull, my favorite group at the time, and there was their leader, Ian Anderson, my rock hero in the flesh mere feet from me, strumming the intro to ‘My God.’ I had the realization I was ruined for any sort of ‘normal’ career or life. I had the pleasure of telling both Peter Wolf and Ian Anderson that story a couple decades down the road.”

Before there was Woodstock, there was Laurel Pop, Maryland’s fiery rock festival
By John Kelly - Columnist
July 9 at 1:24 PM

The year 1967 may have been the Summer of Love, but 1969 was the Summer of Mud. Mud is what you get when you add rain to an outdoor music festival. And it was 50 years ago this week that a festival featuring Led Zeppelin, the Guess Who, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa and other top acts landed in a most unlikely place: Laurel, Md.

The Laurel Pop Festival — “actually a rock festival,” as the Washington Evening Star’s John Segraves sniffed in his “After Dark” column — ran the evenings of July 11 and 12 at the horse track that was then called Laurel Race Course. The event — and its ignominious end — is the subject of a discussion Thursday evening at the North Laurel Community Center.

Baltimore music promoters Elzie Street and James Scott — along with George Wein, who’d had success with the Newport Jazz Festival — joined forces to promote the festival. In the summer of ’69, ads for the festival began appearing in Washington and Baltimore newspapers. Tickets started at $4.75. A box seat cost $10.

The D.C. area had seen its share of “heavy” music concerts at venues such as Merriweather Post Pavilion and the Ontario Theatre, but this promised to be different. A good festival was more than mere music. It was a scene.

“Pop fans like to get together with their brethren, to exchange news, views and sometimes girls,” wrote syndicated music columnist Ritchie York that summer. “There is a general feeling of grooviness, a lack of inhibition, a sort of one-weekend freedom which could perhaps never come again.

“The pop festival is truly utopia for the young music nut. He or she gets all the music he could possibly want, at ear-shattering sound levels, and all the time.”

Among the fans in the Laurel crowd the first night was a 19-year-old Mike Dolan.

“It’s the only event I’ve ever been to that approached those old cavalcade shows: band upon band upon band,” said Mike, now a magazine editor who lives in Northwest Washington. “Here’s Jethro Tull. Here’s Johnny Winter. The night ended with Led Zeppelin. They played a totally riveting set.”

The late D.C. musician Tommy Keene was there, too, with his brother and a friend. They ranged in age from 10 to 13 and had worn jackets and ties. “I distinctly remember some hippie dude coming up to me and offering me a hit of acid,” he told Magnet magazine in 2009. “Er, no thanks, man.”

In his review of the festival’s first night, the Star’s William Holland wrote: “The California of 1967 finally came to suburban Maryland. Most of the kids might still get bankrolled by Daddy and live at home, but the green haze of funny smoke and the no-retail clothes said something — I’m not sure what.”

Holland criticized Led Zeppelin for “a phony sexuality that they used to get their message across, or might I say, their albums sold.”

But Winter earned raves. Wrote Holland: “He not only brought the kids to their feet, but brought them crashing through or around the snow-fence restraints to come up close to dig his unbelievable performance.”

A young reporter named Carl Bernstein reviewed the festival’s opening night for The Washington Post. He faulted British acts like Led Zeppelin for their reliance on volume over texture, technique or tone. The guitarists, he wrote, “play fast intricate runs that seem to exist not as part of any purposeful musical framework, but simply as fretboard acrobatics.”

That was the Friday night show. Saturday dawned with foreboding skies.

“The second night started late,” said Kevin Leonard, a writer and one of the Laurel History Boys, hosts of Thursday’s event. “It rained, and everyone was getting cold.”

Roadies scrambled to find rubber mats to put onstage to protect performers from getting electrocuted by their own equipment. There was a two-hour delay before the Jeff Beck Group, with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, kicked off the show.

As the night went on, a few members of the chilly crowd got restless and started gathering the wooden folding chairs that had been set up in the infield. The green haze of funny smoke was soon joined by another odor: the bonfire smell of burning chairs.

“Local media characterized it as a riot,” said Kevin.

The hour was so late and the scene so chaotic that the plug was pulled at the end of Sly and the Family Stone’s set and the Savoy Brown Blues Band never went on.

And thus the first Laurel Pop Festival was also the last Laurel Pop Festival. After that, Kevin said, “The promoters washed their hands of it.”

But the rock festival itself was here to stay. In his July 1969 story on festivals, York wrote that music fans were eagerly anticipating a coming “pop extravaganza,” adding: “Crowds of 100,000 are expected on both days to see a mammoth lineup of talent.”

The name of that festival? The Woodstock Music and Art Fair.

The Laurel Pop Festival 50th anniversary event is Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. at the North Laurel Community Center, 9411 Whiskey Bottom Rd. Admission is $5 and includes a screening of Jeff Krulik’s documentary “Led Zeppelin Played Here.”

After a rowdy 1971 Jethro Tull gig — “an apocalyptic show,” the Denver Post reported, “amid tear gas, unruly crowds, hurled rocks, violent police officers and a swooping police helicopter” — the city’s mayor announced that the venue would host no more rock concerts so long as he was in office. “Rock music was actually banned here in 1973,” Kitts says. “During those [five] years we had lots of Carpenters and Joni Mitchell.”

Three weeks before Woodstock in 1969, Milwaukee had a rock festival with Zeppelin, Clapton and lots of rain. Here's how it happened.
Chris Foran, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Published 12:30 p.m. CT July 26, 2019

Fifty years ago this weekend, some of the biggest names in rock — then and since — gathered at Wisconsin State Fair Park for a three-day music festival.

And it was three full weeks before a little thing called Woodstock.

Held July 25 to 27, 1969, the Midwest Rock Festival had a lineup almost as star-studded as that jammed-to-capacity event in upstate New York. Among those playing State Fair Park that weekend were rock gods Led Zeppelin; Blind Faith, the short-lived English supergroup including Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood; guitar hero Johnny Winter; the First Edition with Kenny Rogers; folk star Buffy Sainte-Marie; SRC; Pacific Gas & Electric; and the Bob Seger System.

Saturday afternoon, downpours sent performers scrambling, but headliner Blind Faith managed to get in its much-anticipated set.

When the skies opened up again Sunday, festival organizers consolidated the grounds' two stages into one. Two of that day's biggest acts, Jeff Beck and Jethro Tull, never performed, Knapp said; the Milwaukee Sentinel reported that MC5, the Jim Schwall Blues Period and the SRC also didn't play Sunday.

Despite the rain and the ticket issues, everyone seemed to have a good time. Bootleg recordings of Led Zeppelin and Blind Faith's performances posted on YouTube rate high among the bands' fans.

Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom: A historical gem with enduring entertainment success
By Kathleen D. Bailey Special to the Union Leader Jul 28, 2019 Updated 3 hrs ago

Link



ANDREW HERRICK spends his working days surrounded by history. Entertainment history, that is.

The marketing director for the Casino Ballroom can point to banners hanging above the auditorium. “Jerry Seinfeld played here Aug. 11, 1988, just before he signed his deal with NBC,” Herrick said. “And Janis Joplin performed here just before Woodstock.”

The facility celebrates its 92nd birthday this summer with a lineup of yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s stars.

While the Ballroom was established in 1927, the building in which it’s located dates from 1899, Herrick said as he relaxed in his office overlooking the main beach. The ballroom was created in part to lure working people from Lawrence and Lowell to the beach, and the word “Casino” was originally an Italian term for “gathering place.” Herrick added that the Hampton Beach facility was never used as a gambling casino.

From the beginning, it attracted the best national acts, hosting Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong during the Big Band era. People flocked to hear the pop acts of the 1950s, and the 1960s ushered in a playlist of Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. The only big act of that era Herrick is sure didn’t play Hampton Beach was Elvis.

But the Casino was a victim of its own success. When last-minute concertgoers couldn’t get in to a 1971 Jethro Tull concert, they rioted and the facility closed for two years. Local businessman Fred Schaake bought the facility and reopened it, Herrick said.

It's About Time: South Main depot was once a hot spot for live music
By Jay Kirschenmann American News columnist 12 hrs ago

In the mid-1970s, under the cover of night and a large crowd, I blasted past the front door security at the Depot Club on South Main Street boldly carrying my microphone stands and a reel-to-reel recorder, determined to immortalize my favorite regional rock band, Chateau.

I was 17 and technically not supposed to be in the club that served 3.2 beer to patrons 18 and older. Maybe I looked like I was with the band or like a roadie or something. But this was a great band I heard the night before so I felt I had to get them on tape, and the musicians agreed. It’s still a favorite recording.

The former train depot made a great venue for Bob Ellison, bassist, band founder and long-time organizer.

For this particular gig Chateau was Ellison, Dan Donahoe on guitar and the amazing Mark Craney on drums. Craney went on to play with Jean Luc Ponty, Tommy Bolin, Gino Vannelli, Jethro Tull, Tower of Power and others. Shannon Collins did a lot of the lead singing the night I recorded.

There were lots of other favorites I saw there “legally” in the years that followed. Bands at the Depot, and across the street at The Maingait (next to Lucky’s and the Last Chance), including Uncle Zeek, Sterling, Clown, Straight Up and a lot more.

The Depot Club’s glory days were 1968 through the 1970s. It was renamed the Station House in 1975 and showcased a few more bands before closing, with new owners and lessors using it for other commercial purposes. Just across Main Street the former Maingait also hosted live bands during the height of the Depot Club days, making it a hopping south end of town.

Now known as The Zoo, the depot’s neighbor across the street now usually features recorded music with a DJ and special events. Lucky’s was where today is a vacant lot between The Zoo and the former Last Chance, and the Chance recently was remodeled as Dempsey’s, a pizza and beer pub.

The depot’s nightclub days had a short-lived revival with names like The Dance Machine, playing recorded disco music in 1978-’79, and The Rail Station in 1979 with more disco offerings, Art Buntin reports in his book “Living Legacies: Railroad Stations of Brown County, South Dakota.”

It was listed as “vacant” in the Polk City Directory starting in 1980 and was not listed at all in following years through 1994, according to the book. Janitor Supply Co. was in the front section from 1996 to 2001, followed by Heirlooms at the Depot collectibles and antiques in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

But before all that it really was a thriving train station in its early days.

The train station started life around 1900 as the Minneapolis and St. Louis Depot at South Main Street and 11th Avenue. It’s a great-looking building, a combination of Renaissance Revival and Romanesque styles. It looks pretty much the same today as it did back then, with circular windows on the east and west sides and a one-story bay window on the south side.

It also still has its east-to-west red tile roof. The depot’s temple- like look distinguishes it from all others in Aberdeen.

As passenger service waned, the Chicago-Northwestern Railroad bought the depot in 1960 and continued freight-only operations for a few years, Buntin notes in his book. It leased and later sold the property, which was put to non-railroad uses in more recent decades.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since Sept. 28, 1976, hopefully new owners will find uses to keep this historic structure standing in Aberdeen.

17 music venues you really wish were still in Cornwall
We look back as Kernow King launches play about the Cornwall Coliseum

ByLee Trewhela 18:00, 22 SEP 2019

With Kernow King presenting the first draft of his play about the Cornwall Coliseum this week, we thought it would be timely to look at some of the best music venues Cornwall has lost over the years.

This month has seen the death of another popular venue but there is good news too - an old favourite has reopened.

There was a time when we were spoiled for venues - from the legendary (Coliseum, Winter Gardens) to the quirky (Victor Dragos, Mono).

. . . . . . o o O o o . . . . . .

2. Winter Gardens / Demelzas, Penzance

If there was ever a venue that could rival the Coliseum as legendary then it's the Wints, as it has always been affectionately known.

Run by John Adams on Alexandra Road, Penzance, the Winter Gardens became one of the most renowned live music venues in the South West, nay England, in the '60s and '70s.

In its first full season the venue put on Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders and The Fortunes. Although there were no Beatles, Stones or Hendrix, John managed to book a Who's Who of mid-60's UK music.

After seeing The Doors at London's Roundhouse in 1968, John started booking more progressive bands, including Jethro Tull, Yes and Ten Years After. The likes of Genesis, Yes, Status Quo, Can, Fleetwood Mac and Fairport Convention also played in the early '70s.

And, of course, Queen played there regularly, returning to play the Wints after they made it big in 1974.

"It was the best place to be, and it was the worst place to be," says Scott Benarde, the Sun Sentinel's rock critic from 1982 to 1987. "There was something about the nature of that place — its location, its vibe — that made it a great place for rock 'n' roll. But at the same time, it was lawless. I mean, even the security guards were getting stoned."

RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE

Red Rocks Amphitheater is located in Colorado and was opened back in the early 20th century. This amphitheater is an older one that has been open for over 100 years, but it's still among the best concert venues in the US. The venue was built into the rocks and landscape and it has a really unique and beautiful look to it.

Some of the musicians that have performed here over the years include The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Phish, and The Fray. After an incident at a Jethro Tull concert in the 1970s involving guests trying to get in without tickets after the concert sold out, rock concerts were actually banned here for a while! Luckily, that ban has since been lifted.

FIVE ICONIC ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVALS
5th November 2019 10:48
________

This is the music festival by which our festival scene has come to be defined. Unlike other major annual festivals like Glastonbury – which is itself a celebration of Contemporary Performing Arts like dance, theatre, cabaret, circus, etc – leading pop and rock artists take the headline spots and music fans are already guessing who will be 2020’s major acts, the Isle of Wight Festival has its roots in the counterculture.

The first edition of the Isle of Wight Festival was in 1968 and in 1969, the festival was headlined by none other than Bob Dylan and the Band – his first real performance in three years – while the 1970 festival set a brand new record for the most people in attendance, over 600,000 by estimate. The line-up that year included musical luminaries like Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Who, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and, of course, Jethro Tull.

Since then, the festival has been headlined by some of the very best acts and bands in contemporary music, including Depeche Mode, Garbage, Faithless, Foo Fighters, Sex Pistols, The Prodigy, Rolling Stones, David Bowie…the list is endless!

Now demolished to make way for a supermarket and trendy housing, I used to pass it on most days during work hours.

Many top acts played there - David Bowie and Led Zeppelin being but two.

So . . . The Toby Jug RIP

With his band The Spiders From Mars, Bowie would push his alien-rock and roller form outer space to the centre of the music industry and turn all those around him a paler shade of glitter as he championed glam rock for the masses. But, while the legend may be grand, the iconography deeply rich, and the costumes immeasurably brilliant, it all started in a tiny pub in Surrey.

The Toby Jug in Tolworth, just off the A3 and now a flattened piece of real estate waiting for redevelopment—a fitting setting you’d agree—was the first time the world saw the flame-haired alien of Bowie’s creation. It was the moment that Ziggy Stardust had lift off.

The Toby Jug, despite its less than glamourous name and site, was a famous venue on the circuit for some time. In the late sixties and early seventies it welcomed massive acts like Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Yardbirds and later Squeeze. But its most notable contribution to music will remain Bowie’s introduction of Stardust.
