I don't think that there was a second Carnegie Hall show but not every thing that I say can be deemed at law.

Only remember 'Straight Shooter' at Forest Hills. Too short a set and they did not seem too thrilled to be up there.

My source is the Saturday Evening Post from march 1.967. They talk about two shows: Berkley and Sacramento.

Did they really play the Palladium?? How do you know it? I thought they they never play in Europe!

[John Sands]

Ignasi,

You're right. The group never did play in Europe. They were slated to but Cass' frumped up legal trouble in England put a damper on that.
