re: #266 makeitstop

I’d just never had a reason to go to Forest Hills!

I moved here in ‘77 and used to go to the venues of the time - Schaffer Series in Central Park, Palladium, the Calderone on LI and the Capitol in north Jersey. Lived in Flushing for two years, then moved to Commack. Been bouncing around the island ever since, finally bought a house in Islip 15 years ago.

We live out here for the proximity to the city, but we get to go home when we’re done. We’re an hour out of Manhattan, country life. :)

I guess that answers my next question which was going to be if you ever went to any Murray the K’s Brooklyn Fox theater shows. (and I’ll guess the answer is no.)

They were WILD—these were the two I went to:

April 17, 1965
Murray the K’s Greatest Show | Brooklyn Fox
Miracles, Marvin Gaye, Martha & the Vandellas, Temptations, Four Tops, Marvelettes, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Little Anthony & the Imperials, Del Satins, Rag Dolls, Cannibal & the Headhunters, Righteous Brothers

September 3, 1965
Murray the K’s Labor Day Show | Brooklyn Fox
Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Beau Brummels, Little Stevie Wonder, Jordan Christopher & the Wild Ones, Martha & the Vandellas, Temptations, Lovin’ Spoonful, Brenda Holloway, Patti & the Bluebells, Del Satins

Back then, Forest Hills, Westbury Music Fair(when it was still a tent theater) and the beach clubs on the south shore were my most frequent concert sites (I actually saw Simon and Garfunkle at a beach club way back when.)
