Reply #13: I did see the Five Man Electrical Band in concert one time, at

Magic Mountain (an amusment park in Valencia, California, now called "Six Flags Magic Mountain). This was just a year or two after Magic Mountain first opened, and they did not have nearly as many rides as they have today. It was probably around 1974 or so. They had a stage and ampitheater, and many groups of the time (the Grass Roots, etc.) played there. There was no charge for the show beyond the admission charge to the park. The day we went, it was the Five Man Electrical Band, and they played all their main songs and even chatted with the audience a little. It wasn't a large crowd, maybe 300 people at most, but it still made for a good afternoon concert.
