The Sons of Champlin, or the Sons by the time this concert
was held, were a San Francisco staple from 1969 to 1977.
This concert has never been upped anywhere and is out
of my stash of tapes I made in the 1970's.
This was a concert which was tough on everyone there.
The Sons had just finished a two night drunkfest concert in Iowa City at the COD
which was one giant party and most of us were really hung over.
It was super tough to get up, get the gear loaded and get to Indianola
over three hours away and get set up by 2:00 when the concert
was supposed to start. Everyone was in a daze.

Thankfully the concert was outdoors on a beautiful Iowa spring day.
It was quite cloudy and cold, and within a few minutes of playing,
"Hey Children," the clouds parted, the sun came out to warm everything up,
the crowd cheered and Bill Champlin is heard to say, "Hey There, What's Happening?"
The rest of the afternoon was splendid, a couple kegs of
beer, the usual smokeables, and young women pulling off tops and
exposing haltertops and tie dyed T shirts swaying back and forth
in the sun to the sounds of the Sons that amazing afternoon.

No Sons concert would be complete without the famous amusing banter of Bill,
and this concert is no exception, from claiming that Jim Preston is the son
of Brodrick Crawford (Highway Patrol) to Roll Out the Barrel.

This is an audience tape. I had to patch together my tape and another guy's
tape (last song) to make a full concert. In my judgment, this is the best
Sons concert of that whole year, and one of my top 5 Sons concerts of all time.
I hope you all enjoy this.
