Show Reviews

Non-Partisan
Rate:
I remember how Patti tried to incite a riot and almost succeeded. She provoked a very stoned audience with outrageous behavior and some off-mike dialog. The opening act got wise and didn't show up. A visit from theater management, the sheriff, the fire department, and the increasing fear of a very paranoid audience, are not discernable in this line recording. The broadcast ended before the concert did. If there were an audience tape circulating this show would go down in history as a rock & roll version of the "War of the Worlds" broadcast.
