Hi Everyone,
It was a real treat to see this article from Flip magazine with an actual picture of the Mamas and the Papas on stage at Carnegie Hall! I think this is the only picture I've ever seen of them performing here - and being a New Yorker, this was really special. My parents saw that concert and I showed this to my dad and it brought back a lot of great memories because he remembers that concert so vividly even after 44 years. He especially remembers Cass singing "I Call Your Name" on her knees at the edge of the stage and he said it felt like she was singing just for him - that's how good she was and the group sang beautifully. It's a shame no one had the foresight to record this concert - especially since this was such a prestigious venue. Cass, John, Michelle and Denny had said in various interviews over the years that playing Carnegie Hall was one of the high points of their careers. It's also too bad there aren't more pictures of this concert - it seems that most of the pictures of them in concert were taken at Monterey and the Hollywood Bowl.
Oh well, at least we have those!
Cheers,
Rob
