Continental Ballroom - May 20, 1967 »My husband Greg (Awalt class of 69) was at this show too. He remembers that the actual Chester F. Awalt attended the show with his wife. My Awalt sat there in his suit, digging the music no doubt.
I remember that the Greatful Dead sang at our high school (Awalt) in the fall of 1966 (pretty sure it was 1966). They sang one of their first hit songs (can't think of what it was) and they played so loud that I had to walk out of the auditorium to give my ears a rest. I was pretty straight in those days and was not that impressed by them but 44 years later it always brings back a great memory of the 1960s.
I went there with two friends and we snuck in and then got bounced because we didn't go to Awalt. After that we hung out by the door and listened for a while and they (the school people) got upset so we left and went to get high.
