October 1972

October 1972 marks an extremely fun high-point in 00’s life; he had just turned 21 in February and was in the middle of a solid rockin’ year as manager of World Famous “Cranes” Palos Verdes Record store, 00 left the store that he had made home for a job as a Record and Tape Rack Jobber for an L.A. distributor for the following year.
These were the days when EVERYTHING was new and every day was an adventure – it was the times – not just for 00, but for all of those individuals who contributed to the VIBE!
The early ’70s were unexplored lands, new adventures, new highs, new experiences, and new sounds! 1970 through 1975 was epic and the pinnacle of Classic Rock – 00 was there.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA – The Mystery of the Concert That Never Was! 48 Year Old Rock Concert Conspiracy SOLVED!

Posted on September 25, 2022 by 00individual

EXPERIENCE A ROCK CONCERT CONSPIRACY
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA
11-25-1974 – Loyola Marymount University, Westchester, L.A., CA (near LAX)
THE CONCERT THAT NEVER WAS!

This is an original post from 2012 of a Rock Concert Conspiracy Cold case that has a very interesting new updated twist:

Here is possibly the strangest concert that 00individual ever attended!

The venue on the Loyola Marymount University campus was an average-sized gymnasium. 00individual couldn’t, and still can’t, locate any confirming date or set list info for this concert.
Then he remembered a very obscure detail; during the concert Jeff Lynne announced that it was drummer Bev Bevan’s birthday; it was actually on the 24^th, but they were still celebrating. Everyone whooped and applauded. Why is that a relative clue? 00individual went to this concert with his close friend TFS whose birthday was the same day (taking Lynne literally), and that was November 25th, the day of this concert. So the concert had to be on that date. And more corroborating facts are that ELO were in California in November of 1974.

Every bit of ELO gig research lists them at Selland Arena, Fresno, CA on the 21st, then at Celebrity Theatre, Phoenix, AZ on the 23rd, then at the TCC Exhibit Hall, Tucson, AZ on the 24th, and then on the Mike Douglas TV show on the 26th and then at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA, on the 27th, then on to the Olympia Stadium, Detroit, MI, on the 29th!

The day after this Loyola Marymount concert (the 25th) on Nov. 26th, the Mike Douglas Philadelphia, PA television talk show featured comedian Richard Pryor and actor George C. Scott, and ELO performed two hits from their new album, “Eldorado” – so they were in L.A. on the 26th and the 27th. And through the power of Sherlock F. Holmes’ deductive reasoning that leaves 11-25-74 as the date that 00individual saw ELO perform at Loyola Marymount University just north of LAX.

So, why is there absolutely no record of this concert?

00individual’s conclusion is that it was a perfectly executed conspiracy cover-up by the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican to erase this concert from ever existing!
And here’s why: In a strange sequence of events, in April 2006, 00individual was informed by someone who also attended this concert back in ’74 that Loyola never booked any more rock concerts after this ELO concert. Supposedly some kid fell from a high window when he tried to sneak into the concert and died. 00individual was totally unaware of this.

Since Loyola Marymount University is a Roman Catholic institution steeped in Jesuit traditions it was obviously settled immediately, out of court, and out of the media and press – and covered-up to avoid any taint whatsoever on the University. And that taint extended to the fact that it never happened! Right down to the ELO concert – didn’t happen. No trace of a concert, no death.

IT WAS THE CONCERT THAT NEVER WAS!

But was it?

MYSTERY CONSPIRACY SOLVED!
Well, well, lookee here what 00individual just found in a tucked-away stash box in the back of his garage; PROOF!

While there were probably less than a couple thousand Rock fans present, the Powers That Be figured that they had buried this tragedy and made sure of it by scheduling no more rock concerts with bands of this notoriety – little did they know that 00individual was on the case.

So, all ELO concert-data fans can officially ink-in the deliberately-removed date of November 25, 1974 at Loyola Marymount University, CA – CASE SOLVED!

*************

Electric Light Orchestra evolved out of the band The Move and with ELO’s two excellent debut singles, Roll Over Beethoven and Showdown, they took their new “Eldorado” album to an even higher level of Prog Rock. ELO were the Prog-Beatles; which says a lot! Jeff Lynne has an uncanny way of emulating Beatles’ vocals within a Rock, not Pop, genre. Eldorado was their springboard to Superstardom.

ELO: Jeff Lynne – lead vocals, guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, drums, cello, producer, songwriter, composer, arranger. Bev Bevan – Drums, percussion, vocals. Richard Tandy – Keyboards, synthesizers, bass guitar, guitar, backing vocals, arranger. Mike Edwards – Cello. Hugh McDowell – cello. Mike de Albuquerque – Bass guitar, backing vocals. Mik Kaminski – synthesizers, keyboards. Louis Clark – Orchestra arranger, conductor.

Setlist: Tracks from “Eldorado” were featured at this concert and the album went Top 20 on U.S. charts, but more importantly 00individual got to experience a truly great band in their prime – this concert ROCKED and was great FUN!

And it really happened!

PINK FLOYD – 50th Anniversary – Sept. 22,1972 – Hollywood Bowl – “Dark Side Of The Moon” Debut – 00individual Was There!

Posted on September 19, 2022 by 00individual

EXPERIENCE ROCK HISTORY!
PINK FLOYD
50th Anniversary Dark Side Of The Moon Debut!
9-22-72 Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood (Capacity: 18,000)

Ah yes, the masters; Gilmour, Waters, Wright and Mason! 00’s all-time favorite band!

Consistently innovative, superb hard-rockin’ musicians, composers, instrumentalists, arrangers and lyricists who created music that could literally transport you to other dimensions and yet they looked just like one of us with an admirable rock star image of blue-jeans and t-shirts worn by true sophisticated pioneers and Gods of Psychedelic Space-Rock!

The world got to know and love Pink Floyd’s music in 1973 when “The Dark Side of the Moon” LP went on to become the longest charted album in history; a record 741 weeks on Billboard’s top 100; that’s fifteen years!

Their contribution to rock history previous to this LP was simply incredible, but with DSOTM PF transcended their own plateau of greatness and created another level where they unveiled an emotionally-moving masterpiece, a perfect blend of light and dark, of outward observation as well as inward.
Filled with heavenly choruses and a capella solos, stratospheric guitar excursions, sexy and savage keyboard riffs, lyrics that surely changed lives; (“…ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run; you missed the starting gun.”) perfect rhythms and the dreamiest, saddest, ecstatic and coolest saxophone passages ever! This music opened PF to millions of instant fans who may have otherwise never made the trip to the Pink Floyd Universe.

On the other hand, 00 had been enjoying PF since their earliest LPs with Syd Barrett back in ’67 and literally played “The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn”, “A Saucerful Of Secrets”, “Music from the film More”, “Umma-Gumma”, “Atom Heart Mother”, “Relics”, “Obscured By Clouds” (the soundtrack to the French film “La Vallee”) and “Meddle” (along with his world-class collection of bootlegs – Rubber Dubber? Trademark of Quality? Korny Fone? Ah, yes, bootlegs! (see 00’s bootleg LP collection at bottom).
He played these LPs so much that he replaced new copies regularly and had stashed copies of virgin-vinyl imports for special occasions – really.

Dark Side Of The Moon live debut
PF started the concert off with the debut of their new album; “The Dark Side of the Moon”, in its entirety. Immediately the cosmicly-chosen audience were entranced and spellbound by the surround sound of the heartbeat of “Breathe” and the seminal speedway riff of “On the Run”, but “Money” blew everyone away as the sound of huge cash-registers circled the Bowl in quadraphonic sound! 00 remembers giggling in exhilaration of the whacked-out music he was hearing – they weren’t even halfway through before he knew that Rock ‘n’ Roll as everyone knew it (and as they liked it) was again being defined by PINK FLOYD!

Historic! The chosen were hearing “The Dark Side of the Moon” for the first time – LIVE – and the LP wouldn’t be available for another six months!

00 rarely brought a camera to concerts but since he had great box seats, this time he did and caught a split-second classic Pink Floyd moment in time through his Minolta SRT 101 camera during “Careful with that Axe, Eugene” as the crescendo builds, and just as Waters screams; pink-lit smoke bombs explode and fill the stage! A truly amazing analog shot from that era.

This outdoors among-the-stars incredible Pink Floyd concert experience had a dream-designed set of songs – seemingly hand-picked by 00 and the rest of the hard-core PF fans that filled the Bowl – absolute gems!

Set 1: “Dark Side of the Moon” – Breathe, On The Run, Time, Breathe Reprise, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us And Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse.
Set 2: One Of These Days, Careful With That Axe, Eugene, Echoes, A Saucerful Of Secrets.
Encore: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun.
Lineup: David Gilmour (guitar, vocals), Roger Waters (bass, synthesizer, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Rick Wright (keyboards, synthesizers).

PINK FLOYD Hollywood Bowl 1972 Complete Concert!

He vowed to see them every time they came to town in the future; and did, for the most part. For while he did miss the “Animals” tour, he had great seats for the rare L.A. performance of “the Wall”!

And he had FRONT ROW CENTER SEATS, that’s right, absolutely no one between him and Pink Floyd, for THREE NIGHTS of five sold out shows at the L.A. Sports Arena on 4/23-25-26/75!!
Here’s how he was gifted with these front row tickets: (scroll down past Alice Cooper)

Dark Side Of The Moon is released!
On Thursday March 1, 1973, six months after seeing PF at the Bowl debuting DSOTM, 00individual arrived to his work as a record and tape Rack Jobber to see sealed boxes of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon straight from the Capitol Records’ distributor. After pulling orders and adding new releases for all his accounts’ next day deliveries, he snagged a copy of DSOTM for himself. It’s not always about being the first but for archival purposes, it’s pertinent.

00individual vividly remembers coming home to the quaint little place in Inglewood he shared with his girlfriend, and once inside he turned on his Quadraphonic sound system, expertly sliced open the heat-shrunk cellophane wrap with his trusty thumbnail, and inhaled the newly minted straight from the factory vinyl fragrance that was released to excited olfactory senses. He ceremoniously descended the vinyl onto the turntable, triggered the slo-mo damp on the needle/cartridge arm to touch down, silently . . .
. . . and the symbolic heartbeat sound of life began the birth of an evolved Pink Floyd.
The lyric and sonic righteous, bold, and brilliant on-all-levels journey that Pink Floyd led and achieved made it hard to listen to other far less advanced albums . . . for a while at least.

If you don’t know the rest of the story, listen to the album, if you have, then you do.

ALICE COLTRANE & Thelonius Monk & Herbie Hancock 05-21-1972 Santa Monica Civic – plus – Herbie Hancock Crossings LP

Posted on September 15, 2022 by 00individual

EXPERIENCE 1970s JAZZ HISTORY!
ALICE COLTRANE
with Thelonius Monk & Herbie Hancock
Live 05-21-1972
Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica (Capacity: 3,000)
plus
Herbie Hancock – Crossings – 1972

1972 offered an amazing explosion of new music and “electronica” had spread throughout many genres to the point of being a requirement of sorts for bands that wanted to stay relevant.

00 wasn’t introduced to jazz very much other than through his parent’s playing of Big Bands of the ‘40s and ‘50s which all white-bread homes had in their record collections. But after experiencing the truly fine examples of Mahavishnu Orchestra’s jazz-fusion, 00 became very open to jazz in general – and the new electrified sounds even more.

Herbie Hancock had just released “Crossings” an album that 00 really liked from first listening; long spacey pieces that sent one on dream-like journeys and was great for a late night soundtrack to heady conversations.

This was the beginning of 00’s appreciation for HH; soon there would be his classic Headhunters-era LPs and then the soundtrack to the iconic genre-igniting Charles Bronson film, “Death Wish”, then right on up to his monster award-winning MTV video and single “Rockit” – a technical and ground-breaking advancement with the use of “scratching” for the first time on a popular release!

From what 00 gathered, this was one of the last few sets that Thelonious Monk performed throughout 1972 – his final “live” LP as a group leader was in 1971 – and other than Lincoln Center (’72) and the Giants of Jazz tour (’75), Monk retired from the jazz scene until his death by a stroke in 1983.
00 was not familiar with his music at the time but marveled at his unique style of piano playing. His set was fairly short, but it was a very cool enjoyable experience.

This brings us to the headliner of the evening; Alice Coltrane and the wonderful music from her new release, “World Galaxy”. She brought a whole new spirit and feeling to music with her electronic harp, and for 00 this was not jazz-fusion, this was jazz restructured – music with a real cerebral, ethereal, spiritual sense from beyond.

The classic psychedelic album art was appropriately designed by Peter Max, the “Godfather of Psychedelia”, to let it be know in what direction the music would bathe in.
In addition to the electronic harp, Ms. Coltrane also played piano and Wurlitzer organ.

As a devout Vedantic (Upanishads) follower, Ms Coltrane established an Ashram in 1983 in the general area where 00individual has spent the last 30 years. He never visited but the vibes were strong.

00 and his concert going buddy’s seats were center and to the left.They were so into the music that it took a while before they realized that they were some of the very few white boys in the whole audience.

You must know that even though the peace and love of the counter culture still held ground; after the Watts riots in L.A. in 1965 there was continued and justifiable resentment, to say the least, of the predominantly white Los Angeles Police Department and those racial tensions did not exclude Hippies. Heck, they were getting it from all angles; parents, teachers, cops, the establishment and now with their Black Brothers – even though their empathy was with them, they were still white and therefore not to be trusted.
00 brings all of this up only to express an important point; everyone was there for the music that night, and “in the presence of music we are all brothers” which shows how music obscures, crosses and connects all lines of race; it’s the universal language!

And that’s one reason why music and marijuana go so well together; they both break down the ego and uplift the spirit! And to quote Clarence Williams III’s character Lincoln Hayes of TV’s Mod Squad, “Solid!”

Lineup: Alice Coltrane – percussion, piano, organ, harp, tamboura, Reggie Workman – bass, Ben Riley – drums, Elayne Jones – timpani, Frank Lowe : saxophone, percussion, Swami Satchidananda – voice, Leroy Jenkins – solo violin

Setlist: My Favorite Things, Galaxy Around Olodumare, Galaxy In Satchidananda, Love Supreme, Galaxy In Turiya.

ALICE COLTRANE – GALAXY IN TURIYA – ALTER YOUR CONSCIENCE!

THELONIOUS MONK w/DIZZY GILLESPIE – ROUND MIDNIGHT – CLASSIC COOL!

HERBIE HANCOCK – QUASAR – SPACEY COOL!

Herbie Hancock – Crossings – 1972

By 1972 with the build-up of the mid-to-late ’60s, every day advanced to the point that there were daily “happenings” taking place.
These advancements were across the board from thought, concepts, action, technology, social awareness, fashion, film, politics, TV shows, attitudes, and many others, including music.

Standard genres of music were forming combined genres: Country Rock, Soft Rock, Metal, Heavy Metal, Reggae permutations, Progressive/Classical/Baroque Rock, Folk Rock, and New Age are examples. One such new genre was the rising interest in Jazz-Fusion.

Miles Davis was an early pioneer of Jazz-Fusion with his “Bitches Brew” album, and his former band mate John McLaughlin, founder of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and his 1971 debut album, “The Inner Mounting Flame” took it to intense spiritual heights.

Hancock was also a former member of Miles Davis’ bands, who decided to expand his musical horizons. This album is part of his Headhunter period with the albums: Mwandishi (1971), Crossings (1972), Sextant (1973), Head Hunters (1973).
