Joni au Go go

Some vids of interest:

Joni Mitchell filmed at the Cafe au Go Go in 1967. Thanks to Domenic Priore for the link.

LENNONYC on pbs.org. Good thing they put this up as I didn't see it listed on the Buffalo/Toronto PBS station's upcoming schedule at all.

And courtesy of the dangerously time-sucking Dangerous Minds, links to a 1981 BBC doc on the Chelsea Hotel, and the Punk episode of the 1995 PBS "Rock and Roll" doc series (which I do have, but on a VHS tape that's almost as degraded as the copy the YT uploader used).

1971 Ads: Other Venues and Miscellany, Part 3

9/2/71 issue. So early in David's teen idolhood they had to describe from whence he came!

9/2/71 issue. Grease for Peace.

9/9/71 issue.

9/9/71 issue. So who was opening, the Allmans or Redbone?

9/16/71 issue.

9/23/71 issue.

10/28/71 issue. Still love them even though their NYC debut was met with scathing reviews--one likening it to the "Altamont of Off-Broadway."

11/25/71 issue. Last year CIUT (where I do Real Cool Time Radio) had a big special to commemorate the 40th anniversary of this show.

12/2/71 issue.

12/2/71 issue. I won't be collecting these ads in the future as show lists have already been compiled, but I thought I'd save the very first one.

12/2/71 issue.

12/9/71 issue.

O.K., that about wraps up this year...sorry it took so long to crank these out! I think I'm gonna try to do one or two more research-oriented pieces before embarking on '72.

5/13/71 issue.

5/20/71 issue.

5/27/71 issue.

6/3/71 issue. Can't figure out where this was supposed to be happening--maybe I accidentally cut off part of the ad.

6/3/71 issue.

6/3/71 issue. Just liked the study in contrasts between the two soul food joints, Hilly's, and Sonny and Cher.

6/3/71 issue.

6/10/71 issue. Hard to imagine a world where pizza was a novelty food, or that a cookbook about it would be penned by a Jewish author. Just one of a zillion fantastic glimpses into early '70s lifestyles as provided by the non-music ads...including an even larger number of waterbed ads than were run in the previous year.

6/10/71 issue.

6/10/71 issue. Is that Susan Dey? I remember seeing this kind of thing in the back pages of Seventeen or Cosmo, but not the Voice.

6/10/71 issue.

6/17/71 issue.

6/17/71 issue. Hey, Jimi made no bones about being a Voodoo Chile.

7/8/71 issue.

7/15/71 issue.

7/22/71 issue, full page ad.

7/22/71 issue.

7/22/71 issue. I was really hoping to find ads for this famous hair salon. Of course I know the St. Mark's location would many years later become Coney Island High--but I had no idea he also had a shop in Flushing!

7/22/71 issue.

7/29/71 issue.

8/12/71 issue.

8/12/71 issue. Perhaps if they had used this image for the cover, my mother wouldn't have slapped me across the face for buying that blasted "Wall-Pee-ers" record when I was 11.

8/12/71 issue.

8/19/71 issue.

8/19/71 issue. Didn't see too many ads for the original Hilly's. Was he still running it even after opening on the Bowery?
