I have no reason to lie about this.
I was born and raised in South Florida (Lauderdale) and not only was it my wife’s birthday .. I had just received my ‘induction’ papers and it was my last 48 hours before heading to camp at Fort Bragg.
I know .. none of this is ‘proof’ of my claim but .. there is no way for me to do that because .. I no longer have our tickets.
(I have also spent a drunken evening in the local jail with Sylvester Stewart ‘Sly Stone’ but .. That is a whole nother story!)
I can tell you so many stories about South Florida in the 60’s and 70’s but .. I’m gonna write a book! 8)
Saw the doors in february 1967, at devonshire downs, in the valley, along with the jefferson airplane and nitty gritty dirt band all on the same venue.
I was not questioning anything you wrote, lol.
That was JM's trademark for most openings.
