Northwest Dance Halls

Euphoria
Portland, Oregon

Some of the bands that performed at this place during the early years of NW rock and roll were:
 

Country Joe McDonald
Energy Crisis
Holy Model Rounders
Jimmy Buffett

Others??

EUPHORIA, founded by Hippies... a warehouse wtih a huge dance floor on the wrong wide of the tracks.  ONLY the hip bands played there, including the Holy Modal Rounders, an east coast act that ended up based in Portland through the psych years. You couldn't get in or out when the freight trains were switching!  People had to run out and move their cars off the tracks.
