All, I hope that everyone is keeping tabs on the Allen Pamplin California Jam website. He has put Rare Earth back up, along with many of the other performers. He has added them in the order of appearance.
He has just added another video, interviews by Don Imus, with people, like the cook, the "Bummer Squad", Don Branker, and so on, and, once again, Rare Earth is featured in the video featuring a slow motion clip, showing Mike, Gil and Pete, as they are highlighting the event, at the close.
I'd sure like to hear Pete and Ray tell us what it was like performing in front of 200,000 or more, people, on what looks like a beautiful Saturday morning, in California. It must have been an honor to be part of such an enormous event!
During Alan's Celebrate video I noticed "Stereo Broadcast on WPLJ 95.5 FM" flashed across the screen. Radio station WPLJ FM was owned by ABC and located here in the NY City metropolitan area.
Back in the 1970's WPLJ was the station all of us here in New York would tune into to listen to the FM simulcast portion of ABC's In Concert show. Thanks for the memories Alan.
Hi guys, I was at the California Jam, and saw the whole show up front next to the stage. I am the one who ownes, put together and posted these video. My YouTube page is: http://www.youtube.com/user/californiajammer1974 . I made this compilation from the four ABC "In Concert" show of the California Jam show. Yes, I have ALL FOUR SHOWS! And they are in color. I have the California Jam Scriptbook too, and it shows Rare Earth's set in this ABC Scriptbook. See it at my MySpace page at: http://www.myspace.com/_californiajam1974 . It's set to private, but you can ask for a friend request you can see all the photos and archives from this show. There is also a brand new California Jam 1974 group at: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/CaliforniaJam/ . This group is composed of friendly folks. The Rare Earth songs played at the 1974 California Jam "In Order" are: 1. Hey Big Brother, 2. Big John is My Name, 3. I Know I'm Losing You, and finally 4. I Just Want to Celebrate. There you go guy, enjoy! allen pamplin
