Vanilla Fudge played in 68 at this place in Schenectady NY called The Aerodrome. A friend gave Janis Joplin a ride while she was in town. I believe a member of Led Zepplin celebrated his birthday there. Funny how some of these small venues attracted such great bands in the day. I thought the rumor about “Inna-gadda-da-vida” was that that wasn’t what they were supposed to sing but were too drunk during the recording.

Here’s one from Mark Stein’s book (I was the co-author) called
“You Keep Me Hangin’ On”: A week after Woodstock, which Fudge couldn’t do because they had a better paying gig, Vanilla Fudge played “Woodstock of the South” in Florida. Johnny Winter was on the venue and he came up to jam. Then they heard a voice off stage saying “Let’s jam, you SOBs.” It was Janis Joplin.

So Fudge, Winter, & Joplin did several songs. There is no audio nor, to my knowledge any pics.
