That is not the Hollywood Bowl. That is the Hatch Memorial Shell on Boston’s Esplanade. Lived and worked short walks away. I was there on many fourths including the bicentennial. Look close, I’m the guy smoking a joint.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to point out that was the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade in Boston. I was there, along with about a million other people. We went to a steak joint which I believe was called J.C. Hillary’s beforehand, and my Dad ordered me a beer even though I was underage, even though the drinking age was 18 then.
I went to the lighting of the Boston Christmas Tree in 1978, just because I happened to be in the area, and Fiedler conducted there as well. He passed away the following summer.
