I'd like to add, in the 70's, Baker's was a good intimate setting to see some great acts, to this day are memorable.
I saw McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones' band and others and it was an experience.

Yes, Baker's, in the mid 70's I saw McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones' band and Pharoah Sanders band. What an opportunity to catch some of the best Jazz artists in such a great setting.
First job was in '72 at the Edmund Olds dealer on Campau, right across from Woody Pontiac. I thought it was great being a car porter, drivin' all those new cars. We used to have to cram 'em in that...
