1973 Ads: Other Venues and Miscellany, Part 2

5/3/73 issue.







5/3/73 "Riffs" column excerpt.

5/10/73 issue:






5/17/73 issue:











5/24/73 issue:








5/31/73 issue:














6/7/73 issue:




I can't remember if this was a "Riffs" or a "Cheap Thrills" excerpt.









6/14/73 issue.












6/21/73 issue:











6/28/73 issue.














7/5/73 issue:










7/12/73 issue:












7/19/73 issue:





I guess this would be Binky Philips' band?  I think I saw a similar ad in an earlier issue, but since it was printed closer to the classical music section I mistook it for an ad for a performance of Holst's The Planets--d'oh!












7/26/73 issue:
Live music at the Automat???



When they say "hardest to find," are they referring to the store's location or the items within it?





8/2/73 issue:







A Queens Indian restaurant run by followers of Sri Chinmoy--I think it's still in operation.













Not sure who these guys are, but they looked pretty glittery to me.




8/9/73 issue:






"Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Raceway Park!" [Cue the opening riff to Mitch Ryder's rendition of "Rock and Roll"...]







8/16/73 issue:


Marketing credit cards to teens is nothing new.















8/23/73 issue:

I remember there was a radio station building on Horace Harding, but I cannot recall the exact location or the call letters.  I wonder if this joint was adjacent to it.  The address now houses a Gujarati community center.













8/30/73 issue:

Is that a band or a stipper?  Coincidentally, the 7/26/73 issue had an article about some "Miss Nude" type contest which discussed one ill-fated contestant in particular, "Lee Bonny Bakley."






One of my Dad's fave hangouts, but I don't think he ever sported one of these shirts.

Wow! What memories! I saw several of these acts at Kent State University in the late 60's and early 70's, and some of these bands are still out there!
