THE FUGITIVES

The 60s Portland Scene and Almost Making It

I’m featured in the footage of the Gimme Shelter film in the verses for the Garden scenes. What I just mentioned At the end of the Satisfaction sequence I can be seen holding a microphone in my right hand. Above, my head, in front, is a woman.THE FUGITIVESWell, this is an aside OG means original gangster. In other words, the real thing, I think everybody knows that, but…okay, a lot of white people don’t know that. Okay, yeah, I guess so. You’re right, Stooges are Another Important event was the Beach Boys TV special. (need name)
It’s something essential. On my camera in Soul shard dancing to Then perform the Beach Boys performing Okie from Muskogie. I met Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention at the Garrick Theatre in 1967. They were filming Uncle Meat. It was the first time I met Frank Zappa and The Mothers. I formed or forged (whatever the word is) a friendship with Frank Zappa that lasted throughout the rest of his life.

The 60s Portland Scene and Almost Making It

The Mothers were playing their first extended engagement at the Garrick, which became the Bleeker Street Cinema. in the same building complex at the time in 1967. Also, the Cafe Go-Go was in the same building or two buildings that Connected.
Do you know what’s there now? No, I don’t Make your street. You go to my two, go make a left, go to the end of the street, and it’s the last Corner In that direction on Bleeker Street for the Bleeker Street Cinema.

Another major live performance I saw was The Who In the Summer of 1967 (Get date). I met Pete Townsend when I was 14 years old. He wasn’t twice my size, but It seemed like he was. I knew he had gone to Malibu Shore Club for many years. My family were members from 1956 to 1966. Lou Reed worked there as a Cabana Boy. There were less than 150 people at that show. The Who were headlining. The opening acts were Richie Havens, and The Blues Project.

I saw The Who again in 1968 at the Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, New York with Orpheus, one of the Boston hype groups opening. There were about 300 people in that audience. I was one of the first 300 or so Who fans in New York.

I was 15 years old when I saw The Who the second time. The first timewas 14.

When we saw them at the Music Fair during the performance, a bunch of us kids were running up and playing tag with them. So we tap them on the shoulder, and then we had run. We had already ran away by the time they turned around. They didn’t seem to mind. I think they were having fun with it.

Other notable shows I saw-skipping ahead a few years Were Bowie at Carnegie Hall. September of 72? This was his first show in New York, and the Warhol Factory took up the whole front of the orchestra. His son Zowie Bowie (Duncan Jones) was dancing with Angie in front of the stage. He was approximately four years old.

Another notable show we’ll have to put these in chronological sequence was The Doors at the Westbury Music Festival in 1968. It was just as The Unknown Soldier was released. They had promo film of the song showing behind them while they were performing it.

I saw The Jimi Hendrix Experience August 23, 1968 when they played the “New York Rock Festival” at The Singer Bowl in Flushing Meadow, New York. The show included Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Chambers Brothers and the Soft Machine. It was a fantastic bill.

Also A notable shows. I saw Dozens of Beach Boys shows, Um, This is about. Between 1971 and 1980, Um, I got to know Carl Wilson and hung out with him three times The first time we met Carl Wilson On myself and Stephen Unger You and G, your Stephenstev v e n Um. He plays multiple. Insurance’s management was piano, and we we were. We were songwriting team. We try to audition for brother records, And that’s why we went. We went back to the hotel with Carl Wilson, And he was trying to get us a piano to use. So, we went into the Lombard area, Um, To ask to use the piano for us, and He stayed in there, about 10 minutes or 15 minutes, and it came out and he said we could go in there and do that, except there’s a Mafia, a mob meeting going on in there, and we might get shot, So we wisely decided Go in, Um, Any idea what Hotel? No, I don’t know, okay? And They believe the second time I encountered Carl Wilson. I went to Anaheim, which is where Disneyland is in California Convention Center. I didn’t have a ticket to see the Beach Boys who were playing there, and I went to the stage door. It’s in my name is Alan Norman. I’d like to see I’d like to, Um, come and see the show. Can you please tell Carl Wilson So the the doorman went back And much my delight and surprise? Carlson Himself walked out. Yeah, I was shocked, And he said to me the show is completely sold out. And I imagine it was Totally full. And he said, you know, there’s no, there’s no tickets available or guest list available, But I really appreciated that. He came out personally and tell me, And according to Steven, I didn’t remember this, but Curl one with a solid tour. Several years later, Stephen told me recently that we went backstage, and we saw that show. So that was the third time that I hung out with Carl Wilson. Remember where, What’s I’m sorry? My father’s place in Roslyn, New York, oh, okay. Also, another notable show was Curtis Mayfield. I saw him three times with the original Impressions at the beacon theater, the 25th anniversary Impressions anniversary, and I want to be redundant. The 25th Impressions anniversary show And we were the only People there that weren’t African American. And we walked, just walked in. We were on the guest list that felt kind of strange, And um, I knew the other People that weren’t African-American than I encountered the theater, which were Charles Crespo of Hit Foreter Magazine. The editor And Jen savior from Richard Helen, the voidoids, And various other bands. So I knew the other non-african American people, the Caucasians, and the um, He says, the proper word, that’s you snow. Okay, now let me just repeat Charles Crispo. Yes, Uh, crespo, Chris, yes, c, or e, s, p, and Chan, Xavier, X, x, a, v, e, r, I know him, actually, x, a v i e r, yes, and what was the other person, Um Charles Steven Unger, Who got us on the guests Stephen Stephen s-t-e-v with v? Okay, Steepen up here. Okay, Um. During this performance, Curtis Mayfield played with usually first with the five-man Impressions lineup. Unbelievable. The three-man Impressions went up with Fred Cash and Sam Gooden Solo, said Jerry and Jerry Butler in the original one, too. And Jerry Butler did solo set as well. Okay, can you repeat the names again? Okay, it’s, I don’t know all the names. Okay, look them up. No, the ones are five minute Impressions. Yeah, one up with Cherry Butler, Sam Gooden, Fred cash. Okay, I believe is one other gentleman. I have to look up.

You can say white people. I don’t think that the Caucasians are proper term anymore. No, We’ll figure it out. What?

But we will, basically, the only white people in the theater that I’ve noticed And The crowd were the best singers I’ve ever seen in an audience. There were a lot of church choirs, You know, attending other presume. And they were very much in tune, sort of like the opposite of a Neil Young concert, where it sounds like It’s a meeting of all the tone deaf people in that particular area that’s like to scream Instead of scream out of tune. And with Neil Young and won’t shut up. That was the worst concept. I swallow in Seattle in the 90s, sometime With with the the coyotes howling, along with Neil Young.

But we awful.

Also, another Remarkable show Was the first damn show in America. As CVG 1977, I have to get you today. That’s fine. I can find all this. Yes, it’s not. It’s definitely online. There was, it was Amazing show They were a big efforts on the unknown sect. Almond, sorry. Alan Millmansect just because Saying all kinds of crazy shit here. I also saw the Ramones very early CBG views when they’re playing mostly to the pool table.

They were completely different than any man they’ve ever seen. They played everything really fast. The songs were very short, of course. I don’t know the exact date I should say dates because I saw the romance several times, Then I like them very much, and they were extremely influential too, and eventually became friends with Johnny John John Cummings. Johnny Ramon has he was known. Um, the earliest concert I ever saw was As long as monk At the Palace Theater in Danbury, Connecticut. He flew you, four shows, Oh, they were benefits for school green chimneys.

2:36 PM
We were guests of his daughter, who attended the same private school. That I want You. Still, I’m feeling that she was doing a benefit For green chimneys, which was The name of the school. I believe you pronounced it is. I just want to make, Oh, just, What was his daughter’s name? Barbara, Barbara, yes, who unfortunately passed away in the 80s, I believe from leukemia will have to check that she was in. She was a singer, And she worked with Brother Thelonia smoke Junior, who’s known as Junior. The family used to come to visit her as all our families did. The blind smoke would come to Green chin is an imperial Chrysler Imperial limousine with a TV antenna that looks like you and you look like he landed there from outer space. He was very broad tail Persian coach, just like my father and our in person like Army had, just like my father, my father, Irving Milan was a furrier and manufactured coats, Just like the one the way this is wearing. And I think Your father’s name was okay. It’s got to say it here. I just wanted to make you know, And then the other most Astounding Joe I saw Was Miles Davis in Central Park Doing the bitch’s Brew album.

I believe it was late 69. I have to look that up as well.

But, of course, it was in the summer because it was part of the Sheikh Room music Festival, which became the Dr Peppermusic Festival. I’m not sure which one it was. Okay, repeat the name of the the first name of the festival. It was easier the Shaffer me as a festival Schaefer, like the beer, yeah, or the Dr Pepper, like the soda.

The same nucleus that recorded. There’s also a series of shows that I saw Todd Ruffin in Central Park, where I sing with my own microphone. The song that he was recording the audience singing sons of 1984, And that was, I think With either in certain 1973 or 74, we have to shut the date, Uh, it’s the only album, Todd. I also saw Which song it sounds in 1984. Oh, oh, okay. I also saw this show. I want to see the electric flag at the Fillmore East And They were recording For the happy trails album that this show, Uh, quick solver messenger service for recording. How many trails opening for the Yorkshire flag and Stefan Wolf was the first band on Steppenwolf, stepping wolf? Yes, just repeating it for her. That was in 1968.

I also was at the live show Of the mothers of Fillmore East with John and Yoko In 1971, trapping on orange Sunshine. Came out in various forms and mixes On sometime in New York City. Zappa released it on. I think playground psychotics later. I have to look that up. It came out various signs, maybe one other time.

Um, there are other Shows I saw that became one of the albums. I have to think Sometime in New York City. Yeah. Although I’m gonna There’s, no way I’d forget that.

The original name was the motherfuckers in MGM, changed it to the mothers, The mothers of, oh, they, you know, they changed into the mothers from the mother to the mothers of Adventure from the mothers, because the original mother’s name it implies and motherfuckers.

It’s only start from the game, I think aloud, Which is, Did you say what? 371, 71, 1971. Okay.

Try. Okay, I also saw the Stooges In 1973 At Mercious Kansas City, The beginning of the summer. It wounds up seeing them again at the whiskey of Go-Go in Los Angeles, Hollywood.

I held his feet as he’s sang. Thank you all so much, which was Unbelievable.

Oh, okay, another live album I went. I was. Those being recorded was the Blues project in Central Park In 1973.

And there’s a controversy whether they actually use those tapes From Central Park or the tapes from Washington, DC show with with the pictures of Central Park on the album cover the show we went to. It’s the same controversy about their live album in the town hall. Who was she’s supposed to have been recorded in the studio? That’s Common for Almonds.

I don’t think I don’t know if it’s a banisher than some big show that there’s several something or other. Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I see it in time. It’s done, but I don’t necessarily remember, Yeah, I just, she’s she’s doing something all the time. Yeah, but it was sort of some special. Those are unworthiness, splitting the Republicans in him. What did you say? I’m gladly Iran were things splitting the Republicans in half. Yeah, well, You know, you’re going anybody. That’s that’s bitter about an argumented about things like that. They’re founded hate each other. No, it’s good. This is the first time that’s what happens when you act like that, you know, yeah, but this, this is really significant. Yeah, of course, and I want them to bomb around, of course. Oh, you do. Oh yeah, why? Because that’s where that’s for all the attacks come, and they M A from Iran. Yeah, I don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon. No, they’re they’re supporting three Terror groups. I think I have heard, and I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s sound like reliable sources that say that that whole It, I mean, they can’t. I mean, yeah, they got to be stopped, but it might be overblown at this point. Who knows, whoa, but it’s definitely developing nuclear weapon. I don’t care, you know? Yeah, the the left is saying that is, like Iraq, and there’s no, there’s no weapons of structure. That’s not true. I don’t think so. You’re right, I don’t. I think this bullshit, I agree. But whether they have a nuke is still, no, they, I don’t know if they’ve built it. They have. They have the technology exactly, which means it’s like one step away from that. We don’t know because it’s hidden. Well, there’s a couple of other reasons that wow to get, I mean, Terror groups. Yeah, As Baba Hamas and hoodies, So they’re attacking from every other position in the Middle East. So, now that now, they’re all disabled. When nothing wrong with that, you can’t. It depends how it’s done. You know whether whether it will be a good idea or not, but bombing the nuclear sites is definitely a good idea. Well, I just don’t want the US to do it. I can see them.
