Wow, did that rattle out some memories! We were in that "market". The stations, the talent, the promoters were all well known.
A revolutionary time, memorable people and events. There was one record store in the town north of da 'burgh where we grew up, they were <span style="font-style: italic">connected</span>. My Old Fella was an audiophile of the First Waters, built the systems to play Hi-Fi and later Stereo in the fifties and sixties. He could get about anything through them, we'd have LP's of all-sorts on first pressing. Didn't know how priveleged we were at the time.
We listened to Cordic & Co. (KDKA, mornings) religously, with friends we even made up our own copy-cat shows using reel-to-reel tape & four track "tricks" to over-dub different sound effects and voices... learned quite a lot in the process, too. Christmas '59 we got Hitachi AM radios the size of a pack of cigarettes, unique for the time. Plugged into those things like the iPod generation is now. Wow. Funny thing is, those still work!
Too young to attend that show in '64 but by '66~'67 we were loose and permitted to roam. By '68 Cleveland had a place called The Blossom Theater where we could see many of the groups while sitting outdoors on blankets. Pittsburgh's Civic Arena was a bit more conventional. KYW was the Cleveland market dominant, later found they were issued the wrong call-sign by FCC originally, and became WKYC (erroneously issued to a Philly station at the same time). Broadcast radio trivia. :wink:
Thank you Nial for posting that link, it conjured up a ton of fond memories!
