Wow! Where did everyone go? Oh well, I guess I'll just have to turn up the volume:
I have a funny story about the night they recorded that concert...
A friend of mine had a couple of tickets he offered to give me, with the promise that I would actually
go... I had a g/f who was a big Neil Diamond fan, so I got them for her.
The 2 of us went to the concert that night, but on the way walking up to the entrance there were scalpers all over the place
wanting tickets!! We ended up trading our cheap seats for a pair of good ones to see Rod Stewart w/the Small Faces at the Hollywood Bowl a few weeks later. I already had tix for that show, but I said I would keep the better seats

and give my friend the other pair...
When we went back to the car, they were all packed in like sardines and there was no way we were getting out of there...

LOL!! (we were just one space away from the edge... too bad we couldn't just pick the car up and move it over!!)
We decided to hitchhike down to the Baskin-Robbins in town (the Greek Theater is up in the Griffith Park/Los Feliz area) to get some ice cream, and then made our way back up the hill... (it only took one ride each way) But the concert wasn't over yet, so we had no choice but to sit outside and wait...
Well, at least I can say I was there and heard
most of the concert... LMAO!!
