Sue: Band $2,500 guarantee plus 80% on gross over $6,500. The OAITW 1973 gig ad gave "Theatre", while the ad for this show gives "Theater". We believe 're' to be correct.

review: [positive] Beck 1975: Merl's vocals "are the band's weakest point, combining the tonal qualities of Wolfman Jack with a tune-carrying ability second only to Bob Dylan". This review supplies the tunes under "Known Songs". Beck mentions a jazzy flute-based number that is probably "La-La", but could also be "Wondering Why".
review: [mixed] Hardy 1975. He finds the band way too mellow. He pins BORW to end set I and LIR to begin set II.
