Note:  28 May 66 was the last day the Red Carpet placed an advertisement in the Tacoma News Tribune for the remainder of 1966, though the club remained open as The Red Carpet and bands continued to be booked until 1971.  At some time in '68, the Red Carpet changed its name to the Break Thru and later went back to The Red Carpet name.
