More great articles and pictures! It’s all so interesting! Thank you Diana, this is so much fun to see and read!!!
It definitely is fun to see all the photos from that day. And, what a beautiful location to have an outdoor concert.
I love the new pictures you found of this Pepperdine University concert. You amaze me!
Sometimes I really get lucky, when I least expect it.
I don’t believe you get lucky. You are a great researcher!
Thanks for posting. I was there. This was another one of the shows that Randy let me film. Once I digitize the VHS tape, I’ll let you know. He actually sang “Saturday Night” at this event which was a rarity. Great memories.
Yes, let me know. That would be fabulous to see them singing.
love this so much Diana!! Thank you for all your work!!!!
You are most welcome. I was tickled pink to come across those Pepperdine photos. What a beautiful place for a concert.
