But I was waiting for BTO to come on next. 17 yrs old,just graduated Radford HS, Dad dropped us off both mornings at 7am so we could sit on our blankets up front(those didnt last), me in the floppy pink hat. Rodney, in the second photo, Im the kid in the red shirt on the left. Then it showed this guy randomly jump in front of a moving car for no reason all all even though he hadnt used drugs for a couple of years because he used them before. Glass Candle was doing what I wanted to do as a young man. . No sound, but great footage of the crowds. Shnazz. I moved there a few days after graduating in 75 to live with my sister and brother-in-law. We dropped acid in the middle of the night and walked to the crater and snuck into the venue, sleeping on top of a truck trailer so nobody would see us. Old Waikiki wall. Anyone remember? (Or depending on your age, to Coachella.). The foundation stone for the frenetic hustle and bustle was laid in 1810. That was really a long day. Hendrix was supposed to be there but I think he got hung up on Maui. Screaming, giggles, laughter..shit what a trip. Always appreciate your input. Its good to put some thoughts down in writing while I still can remember, but getting difficult. In the summer of 1966, the Teen Fair was held at the HIC exhibition hall with many booths of things supposedly of interest to teens. Im in Canada . I just found this page. I remember a young Pauline Wilson singing with either Ox or Seawind, cant remember. The songs became an active proponent for Hawaiian sovereignty issues. Actor David Carradine, who was having big success with his popular television show Kung Fu, and his girlfriend Barbara Hershey were also at that event. Promoters Polynesian Enterprises (Bob Kent and Steve Eastwood) in association with Calgarys Fire Productions (Chris Dobbin, Anthony Gregory and Joel Margolis)chartered a DC8, painted it Red,White & Blue w/stars, of course, and flew the entire entourage {Sly Stone missed the flight and flew over later Stevie Wonder had to cancel at the last minute) to Hawaii in what had to be one of the most infamous drunken, drug hazed flights since Joe Cockers Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. The JOURNEY Line-Up : Robert Fleischman (Vocals) Gregg Rolie (Keyboards, Vocals) Neal Schon (Guitars) Ross Valory (Bass) Aynsley Dunbar (Drums). I had just moved to Oahu after three years in Greece and saw this flyer in Waikiki for the Crater Celebration to be held in the Diamond Head crater over the weekend. Left early in the morning and didnt get home till it was dark. Thank you. I went to quite a few of the Crater Festivals and also collect the posters. I missed out partying all night with those guys! 358 Concerts Diamond Head are an English heavy metal band formed in 1976 in Stourbridge, West Midlands. I went to the 75 and 76 Festivals. And all the dance clubs along Waikiki. It was overwhelming for me but I remember waking up to America and I think I caught Sly Stone also. Thanks for jogging my memory of the first concert in Diamondhead Crater. Who remembers B&K String Jive? Diamond Head Crater Festival Setlists | setlist.fm Henry Kapono - Throwback Thursday Part 28 The Last Crater - Facebook Thanks @Larry! Who among them gazes across the 175-acre floor of the crater, aware of the wildly divergent segments that mark its history, from battle-ready military zone to hippie mecca, and ultimately to a protected natural park? I was a marine stationed at the Marine Core base.Went both days.It was a blast.Wish i could of said the same about the sun burn.Didnt see that one coming. My brother helped my sis and I sneak in over the crater. The friends I was with were not into the music as I was so I kinda meandered around with them, with the music in the background. Maybe you attended them, but just dont remember being there? Artist charts. I was there for the fire.. wasnt too exciting..just a bunch of brush burning wow.. what a day I went in 75 and both in 76. When we left, it was usually the last group playing. I was in the Army and after a year in Nam I was allowed to live in Hawaii for 10 months before returning home to California. Last seen them the next summer in SFO. I had convinced myself I had seen them in Honolulu in 1975. By Castle Hoonanea Team | Photos Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
