The Grateful Dead @ Shrine Exposition Hall		The correct lineup was Comfortable Chair opening, followed by Spirit, then The Grateful Dead, and Country Joe and the Fish headlining. This was my first Dead concert and I was standing at the front of the stage directly in front of Jerry Garcia's shoes at eye level. OMG, it was ear-piercingly loud! But so good! Great jams like on Live Dead. I saw them at least 5 times into the mid-70s following this concert (country phase), but none of them came even close to the satisfaction experienced this first time. Country Joe was good, too (only time I saw them). Spirit was mediocre that might (too stoned to perform?)

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers @ The Bank		My friends and I were planning to see The Dead and the Shrine Exposition Hall that night, but the concert had been cancelled. We met a guy who told us that Mayall was playing at The Bank in Torrance. There we went. CTA (later Chicago) were already into their first set upon arrival. Highly impressed. Mayall featured Mick Taylor on lead guitar just a few months before he quit to join the Stones. Great concert. Tickets were probably around $5.
