Sky Saxon and the Seeds at the Downtown... a most excellent show as I recall. Especially noteworthy was Daryl Hooper playing three keyboards in a cape.WD Frank, October 2009
I built and ran this club with Harrell Whitney, the Coca Cola bottler. I cleared out an old bowling alley downtown to build it.
The venue name was simply "Downtown". I used the Petula Clark song in early radio spots.
Everybody played there including some national acts... Box Tops, Grass Roots, American Breed, Tommy James and the Shondells, October Country, Lemon Pipers and many more.
