That’s one fantastic line-up. Oh, to have been there!

Says a lot that Johnny Watson is down at the bottom.

Someone also sent me the program digitally as well 

Treated myself to this limited run print for Christmas but not framed as yet. Would’ve loved to have been there to see and hear Sharon Jones at her best, may she rest in peace. The album of the gig is superb too!

From 1969 at the Cobo Arena on the Detroit River

After my introduction to Soul via mods in my workplace in 1967…….

Edwin was the guy who got me into the wonderful world of uptempo soul.

”I am the man” was the song and it was played regularly on Radio Luxembourg in 1968. Once I bought the 45 I found an incredible flip side.

The Twisted Wheel introduced me to his wonderful Ric-Tic material in 1970.

It's not just the line ups of those shows that I find amazing, it's also design and layout of the posters. Awesome. From a design perspective my favourites are the Soul Turkey Show and Battle of the Soul Groups. What's yours?

Mad dog and the pups...

Linda Jones..

Al Perking...

Unifics 

Temprees

Continental 4

Tim Tam...noooooo.

Parliments...

Wally Cox

Terrible Tom

Eddie Foster

You lucky people who lived to see these ..and more...acts live, back in the day. Priceless.

My wife spotted that the date on this one has a sticker.

Question is, printer error or change of date ?

She wants to know if we get a $25 cash prize for spotting it 😀
