Anne Hansen (Brasher)

Oh my gosh!  I could hear the music and sing the song.  I haven't thought about that kind of music for a long time.  Was I ever that young?

Kate Whitney (Neilson)

'Hey' to all on East's formum - It looks like you're still on mucis groups you were able to see when you were young adults. Do any of you remember 'home' bands that use to battle it out in SLC at the 'Balle of the Bands' I can't remember the place they were held at -but I do remember being there to support my brothers band and other bands I whom know the some of the musicians.  It was great fun -  I remember Lyn or Dan Brown playing ( or am I dreaming - old age you know)

The above news photo I believe is my brother's (Jim Whitney) 1st band - I latter years he formed a band with bishops and conselors in his stake (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)  I was an occational 'singer in a band'  Well did you or were you in a band?

Dan Brown

I was never in a band but my brother Lynn was.  He was friends with your brother. 

The local bands I remember were Holden Caulfield, Wishful Thinking and Smoke Blues Band which became Rocks and Gravel Blues Band..

Kate Whitney (Neilson)

Thanks Dan, I remember those bands too.  Do you remember the place that people could go to hear and dance to local bands? I think it was an old watermill building - One felt like they were listening to 'big time' bands.

Was this the place?

Willy Revada Allen

 Its Good The Old Milll could not talk.

Robert Cannon

Willy, have you ever thought about writing a book about your successes. What you have accomplished in sound design is quite amazing.

Renee Lefevre (Hunter)

This is a different kinda concert, but did anyone go to see Rene Fleming for the Utah Symphony opening season concert? Not nostalgic, but spectacular! 

Faye Millfred (Pfister)

I noticed that another classmate has passed.

Clarence Emery Stonehocker  ( Stoney, Rennie)

His obituary was in the Tribune Oct. 27.

Love and condolences to his family.

Memories Too

RIP Rennie

If someone has the list, Crit Swaner, of who played at the Patio Gardens and Terrace Ballroom.  I remember seeing Santana and Janis Joplin, but to the life of me I don't remember who the headliners were for either of those concerts and I am pretty certain that when they played in SLC they weren't the primary draw.

Where is Freed?????????????????.

Lagoon open up our mines and world.

We should all be on our knees Bowing down to the whole  FREED Family.

Elizabeth /Betsy Baker

Howard Freed is alive and well; he is a wonderful cook, a delightful person to hang out with, and in general "one of the good guys"  Always enjoy socializing with him when visiting slc.

Wasn't Janis Joplin the opening act for the Doors at Lagoon?

Willy Revada Allen

No Janis Joplin was all by herself with Big Brother and the Holding Company.

"Sumetime"

I know because I was standing behind her when she was on stage with her bottle of Southern Comfort and tea.

Party

Dan Beck

I remember seeing Janis at the Terrace Ballroom and I remember seeing the Doors at the Patio Gardens but for the life of me I don't remember who opened for Janis.  I think the Blues Magoos opened for the Doors but I really don't remember.  And we know that there was no act, including the Moody Blues, that played without an opening act, even if it was a local band or up and coming act like it was when Santana played the Terrace the first time opening for, I think, Jefferson Airplane.

Kate Whitney (Neilson)

This would have been a grand concert to have gone to!

Kate Whitney (Neilson)

As I was posting my comments about Big Brother and holding Company - the song  'Just walk away Renee' came on- this song always reimnds me of Pete's the diner across the street from East!  So many good tune came from the 60"s!  I was listening to Linda Ronstat's version which I enjoy.

Robert Cannon

Willy do you remember she came out in a gold sequined mini skirt and her voice crazy good. A great evening.

Ann E. Lee (Lee)

It's probably not well known, but my brother, George Enger (EHS 1965) was the one to bring Big Brother to the Terrace.  He and a business partner had tried to open the first "psychedelic" night club called "The Wherehouse" on the Cottonwood Diagonal in 1967 or 1968.  Needless to say, the local government blocked it resulting in big attorney's fees.  He brought in Janis et al to pay off the money he owed.  According to him, they did not have an opening band.
