memories
The GOLDEN BEAR was located about 50 miles south of Los Angeles in the town of Huntington Beach.
This was a small nightclub in a small town surfing community back when the streets and yards were still full of sand.
I was an avid follower of SPIRIT and just naturally brought the recording gear to this show.
It was one of those times where we just could not get past the security and had to take the recording equipment back to the car.
I returned to the show very disappointed and then a stranger came up to me and told me
that he had asked the soundman if he would record the show for him, and he had said YES.
He didn't have any tape so a blank cassette exchanged hands and this is the result.
The next day I copied the master cassette with my TEAC 4070G Reel to Reel @ 7 1/2 ips on TDK Audua tape.
This was thirty years ago.
These memories of how Huntington Beach was back then no longer fit with what that town has become.
The GOLDEN BEAR is long gone and a large shopping and dinning complex sits where this concert took place.
I can still remember walking across the street after the show and standing out on the pier to discuss the show and "prepare" for the long drive back home.
This tape for some reason only had the year 1978 written on it.
I can't find a ticket stub but from the statements at the end of the tape it is certainly late July of that year.
