Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | California World Music Festival 1979... Two Day Concert... Second day show was: April Wine, Boomtown Rats, Brownsville, Eddie Money, Mothers Finest, Toto, UFO, Van Halen, and Aerosmith. Plus a bunch of local bands. Cheech & Chong MC'ed. (Mahogany Rush was supposed to be there, but No Show)
I think tickets were $10... $15 for both days.
[I got in free with a Miracle Ticket]
When I was young, tickets were $4.50, $5.50 and $6.50... About the price of an Album.
That was about a fair price.
[45's were 65 cents... Damn, I am Old!] |

| April Wine played at our high school dance once in the early 70s - they did have an album out at the time and probably got about $300 for the gig - that wouldn't get you a Niel Young ticket now..lol
Rush played there as well and so did Steppenwolf as well as McKenna Mendleson Mainline but I doubt anyone would know who they were. Flower Traveling Band also - they were like a Japanese version of Black Sabbath..lol |

We had Sunbury in Melboure but I couldn't get there by myself and had no-one with an interest in music to tag along with. I have got a great Billy Thorpe album from it thhough :cool: |

Why isn't Willie helping Neil sing this one?
