"Los Angeles is surrounded by valleys, but there's only one Valley..."

Rock show at Birmingham

Ben L. Kaufman writes about the improbable show that many Valley kids remember from the football field at Birmingham High School on May 20, 1967:

For a $3 ticket (which I still have) there was a concert featuring Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, Merry-Go-Round, Peanut Butter Conspiracy, Sunshine Co, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. My understanding at the time was that a student's father was a promoter and the concert was to raise funds for the bleachers. It was a great concert with the groups all singing their current hits.

I found the poster online. A few days before playing Birmingham High, the Jefferson Airplane performed at Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco.
