I've just discovered these forums and am so impressed by the stories being shared by folks lucky enough to have been to any of these great shows that I'm going to read them religiously from now on. This is 21st century oral history and the value of posts like yours is immesurable to those of us who couldn't be there. Billiam's and Tenorcat's recollections have added such vivid texture to this incredible pair of shows that it almost feels like being there.
I totally agree that I'd love to see a documentary of the SF scene and anything with more QMS is welcome by me-- there's a great clip on YouTube of them playing 'Mona' at some sun-drenched outdoor venue that just makes me cry for not being born about a quarter-century earlier and on the other side of the country. But back to my point- with everybody talking about the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love, all it's resulted in is a museum show at the Whitney in NYC
(definitely worth checking out) and some sales on CDs Amazon.com. I'd love to see more about the local acts that made up the backbone of the scene back then. Charlatans, QMS, Moby Grabe, Cold Blood (just discovered them last night!), Electric Flag, Blue Cheer... lots of not-so-exposed acts worth a closer retrospective. Maybe a film maker can get something finished in time for the 50th anniversary...
Until then, I'll keep to The Vault and these most excellent forums!
