TJB - Interesting Picture

[Steve Sidoruk]

Thanks and yes, I am contemplating something. There are several more B&W proof sheets and many color photos from this venue - some of which were used in the recent BBC HERB DOC. Other tours include, Bullish, Symphony, Second Wind, Passion Dance and the recent Herb & Lani Tours.

A book would be great. Any Julius stuff, or non-A&M?

Sorry 'bout the hubcaps, Cap'n. Didn't know you drove a '67 Plymouth Fury.

Yeah, I finally replaced it with a '93 Chevy Lumina, which has 3 hubcaps missing. But it runs and it's paid for.

Herb and the guys were sporting some serious sideburns by '67, so I'll guess this is '66 or earlier.

I agree. Pisano had his mustache by '68, and Herb had his hair longer and more curly by the time S.R.O. came out in late '66. Just another reason why LP covers were fun to look at back then. We probably wouldn't have noticed it as much with CDs these days.

The hairstyles look a little conservative for 1968. The date (assuming that's what it is) is written in the same hand as "UCLA", which means it was done after the fact and isn't an absolute timestamp.

My CR-V is no beauty queen either (remember that rust never sleeps up here)...but it's 13 years old, paid for, and still running like the day I got it in '97, some 215,000 miles ago...

Just gotta say, those contact sheets are amazing.

Steve, have you ever done / thought about doing a pictorial book? Apologies if you have and I missed it btw...

Best-

Steve has the biggest and best Herb/A&M collection anywhere and he is best placed to put some sort of pictorial book together. A lot of his pics are of the highest quality so, Steve, what are you waiting for?!

Steve - love the pictures from 74...I think I saw that same tour when they came through San Diego.....

I wish I'd seen this tour. I was 12 and had only started listening to the TJB. It was another 22 years before I heard Herb live and almost 30 years before I met him.....

Don't forget that Steve has many photos at the Gallery:

We had seen both the "You Smile" and "Coney Island" tours when they came to Michigan. I don't remember many musical moments, but do remember having dinner at the lodge and seeing Herb (in sunglasses) with Lani, Julius and the entire "T.J.B." (as they were billed) having dinner at a large nearby table. Both concerts, though, I remember "Zorba" was part of the encore, and it got the audience on their feet, whoopin' and hollerin'. Great times!

Then again, our "Spanish Moon" tour concert ended with fireworks out at Meadowbrook while Herb and the band played "America The Beautiful."
