Hey old guy, we had great music venues back then too. My only other odd memory besides getting whacked with a bottle, was that was an only time I took a drug for fun/recreation. Forget what it supposed to be but it was LSD. terrible experience never did that again.
Hey Sumas, I might have given the wrong impression in what I said. I did work in the music business in Detroit, A2, Toledo, Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, St. Louis, Rockford, Minneapolis & Denver.
I never threw a bottle at any time. I guess I was just referring to the days of Boone's Farm Wine. Hideous stuff, but the price was right.
Once again, sorry to threadjack.
I doubt it's a thread jack. We are talking music. Remember Metro beach where for car admission you could hear Duke Ellington, BB King and so many other greats.Hey Sumas, I might have given the wrong impression in what I said.

It's a bit odd but every boyfriend I ever had was serious into music, as is my husband of 38 yrs. The only band I never saw was the Beatles, but did see Wings. It seems I didn't miss many bands from the late 60s to current times. So funny cause I am not a huge music buff.
Today he drove me nuts with Calypso, yesterday opera, he softened it with Frank Sinatra doing Cole Porter.
Simply put, an "adult" civil outdoor music venue was charming. I plan to return.
The portapotty story was funny too.
My husband and I went to this yesterday. It was a beautiful day, the music was fantastic and the food smells were phenomenal. We saw families, children, grandparents, folks picnicking. DJ Sharif picked my husband out as a musician and talked him into signing up to jam, but we ended up leaving before he got a chance.
FYI, no porta potty, just the plywood structure, but I saw some ladies with rolls of TP. Not sure what they were doing with it or where they were going...
I took my sax down there and sat in. Nice folks and good players.
