Notes
  • Grand opening of Minneapolis Labor Temple.
  • Attendee Hard2Handle recalls on his deat.net entry "Ground Hog's Day 1969. First rock show at the Labor Temple (or first I knew of) - scene of many a Polish wedding." Goes on to note the tension between the band and the crowd, which if I recall correctly is reflected in some stage comments (if not this show, for sure on this tour -- "you motherfuckers" and all that).
