1/30/69 issue. As befitting their forays into country-rock around this time, the Evs were moving away from showbizzy Vegas-type venues and into clubs catering to the more serious music fan. There's a short review of their Bitter End debut in the 2/6/69 "Scenes" column...apparently the likes of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan (who offered them a song, according to a Christgau column later in the year), Simon and Garfunkel, Johnny Winter, the Rascals, Canned Heat, and Paul Butterfield were in attendance on opening night.
2/6/69 issue. Too bad the following week's issue was missing, I'd have loved to see a full Neil Young ad. Apparently the engagement was 2/12 to 2/17, with Crazy Horse!

Your research the last few weeks has been absolutely amazing. Its like reading the Dead Sea Scrolls (well, in a New York Rock and Roll kind of way).
Scaffold featured Paul McCartney's brother--I had no idea they ever played in America.
Yeah, Mike McGear! Finding that one was a revelation to me too.
I don't know if I'm breaking any new ground, but all this time-travel a helluva lot of fun...albeit very time-consuming as well! Sigh, if only the East Village Other were as readily available.
