Dusty Venues

[IWannaBeABluesSinger]

The Jubilee in Calgary still is the top concert venue - it's been totally re-configured inside, however:

The Edmonton Jubilee has gotten the same makeover.

Glad you all liked the tour.

Looking in the Complete DS to see if it said who was with Dusty on this tour and it seems the gigs started a couple of days earlier at Nevada University and her tour buddy was King Curtis. Could it have been possible that he backed Dusty on stage? Now that would have been worth the price of a ticket!

That's right - unfortunately Paul Howes didn't specify which Nevada University it was so I wasn't going to guess - either Las Vegas or Reno. Usually a University gig is just used to iron out the kinks, so to speak. I've tried finding reviews to see what sort of show it was - did she engage members of the symphonies in all the stops on the tour, or was it more basic rock? None of the newspaper online archives go back that far though.

Somehow forgot to mention that I also Judy Collins at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary: also now remember seeing a pageant there in honor of the Canadian Centennial. One curio: on my first visit to the Jubilee as an adult while on a pre-concert pop into the washroom I couldn't help but notice - despite minding my own business as one does on washroom pops - that the person standing at the next urinal was a woman. Well - I guess when you go to a Juice Newton concert you've got to expect outrageous behavior!

At any concert you can expect to run into someone (male or female) who really has to pee !
Standing in a long, long, men's room line at a Led Zeppelin concert and when I finally got to the urinal two cops were handcuffing the guy who was next up to pee. Those merciless bastards, and that poor dude !

Well not to take the...focus out of this thread but I don't believe it was a case of the powder room being packed but rather someone mucking about: as I say I was minding my own business but it was evident the young lady was simply - ahem - posing.

I take it the point being that if the lady standing next to you is doing their business upright that ain't no lady?

Actually when I say she was posing I mean she was just standing there rather than doing any business. Although crashing the men's room I wouldn't class as ladylike I don't think there's any question she was a female.

I saw Dusty at the Cavendish in Birmingham on the 1st March 1969.
I have searched and searched for some photos of the venue, all to no avail.

The only memories I have of that night are of Dusty signing the card. I had nothing else on me she could have signed, so I told her this and this is what she wrote!

Hey Cas I was revisiting this great thread, I was wondering what Dusty wrote-- the photo is gone.

Found a website that shows lots of concert booklets from the 60's, not as much on Dusty as I'd hoped , but 63,64 had a bit.

Also a contract for package tour at the Colston hall. Maybe someone more skilled could get a close up to read the signatures, couldn't do it on my phone.

Nice finds for the thread Connie, well done. The link to the covers is great but it wouldn't let me open 1963 for whatever reason. Thank you.

All I saw under the 1963 part was the Springfields picture on Disc magazine. You didn't miss anything.

Thanks Connie, I was thinking there would be much more on Dusty.

The mind boggles as to what Clarence "The Frogman" Henry did.

Sounds like he was some kind of contortionist??? Pat.

[pat.dunham]

Thanks Darren, sorry but I'd never heard of him.

[darren2722]

Me neither Pat. Had to google him. Great song though.
