Concert dates and info for the M&P's and related groups

[Ars_Nova_Chris]

Remember, folks, this thread is about concert dates research.

This show was cancelled, correct?

[Tri.Moon]

Yeah, if I remember correct. BTW, did they plan to record this event?

[Ars_Nova_Chris]

Here's something interesting...



What's up with that first song??

[dunhill]

It's not uncommon for writers to get the song titles incorrect. Ol' Hank meant Somebody Groovy.

Charles

[John Sands]

You know guys, I was there in the audience that night. To me Cass kept the whold thing together.

[John Sands]

is it possible that the third Action show was a repeat?

[Ars_Nova_Chris]

You were there in the audience what night, Forest Hills? Could you supply any additional details? (set list, etc...)

And, no, the third 'Action' wasn't a repeat, I have all three.

[John Sands]

What about the first show at the Hollywood Bowl of which many pics exist of the rehearsal, many of them taken in the empty bleachers? I read in a Cher bio that the group appeared there in late April or early May 66 with Sonny and Cher, Otis Redding and Bob (Eliusive Butterfly) Lind.

Also I didn't know that the group appreared at Carnegie Hall twice. Pls clarify and thanks. Very interesting.
