It sounds like it was more rural than i realized.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-74129419918720317092022-06-09T08:07:49.679-07:002022-06-09T08:07:49.679-07:00I was amused when I read "The Bowl was quite ...I was amused when I read "The Bowl was quite large, and also quite suburban." I guess... but I'd say it differently. The L.A. Urban Area includes a lot of undeveloped land, notably in the Santa Monica Mountains, which separate the main basin from the San Fernando Valley. The Bowl is in the Hollywood Hills, which is the east end of the Mountains. It has many homes close to it. But what you see from inside the Bowl are hills covered with chaparral, and the Hollywood Sign in the distance. So, in a way, it is both urban and rural!<br /><br />Per Wikipedia, the two people charged with finding a performance site, "selected a natural amphitheater, a shaded canyon and popular picnic spot known as 'Daisy Dell' in Bolton Canyon which was chosen for its natural acoustics and its proximity to downtown Hollywood." It was a bit of a problem to get to it for concerts because of traffic; in recent years, I've ridden a custom bus from a Federal building parking lot much further west in L.A. And now, I learn, it is about a mile "from the Hollywood/Highland Metro Rail station. It is adjacent to U.S. Route 101 [the Hollywood Freeway]."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-5454423007633864942022-05-06T10:15:55.263-07:002022-05-06T10:15:55.263-07:00When you reach 1978, hit me up.

Great memories of 7/28/78 @ Nanuet Theater In The Round... just down the street Frank Wakefield was on the bill at The Red Rail and we headed straight there after. Empty when we walked in, it wasn't too long before Marmaduke and Nelson arrived, and not too long after that that we were passing joints back and forth w/ them up on the stage playing among other things, Panama Red. Memorable night at the RR, after which a buddy and I drove straight to the Berkshire Mountain Bluegrass Fest somewhere around Kingston (I think). <br /><br />https://frobbi.org/slides/berkshire1980/index.htmlEliot Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042814347413059490noreply@blogger.com
