Flac files of .wavs, plus some newspaper clippings and a box of matches from the club.
Another dip into the vast pool of WMMR recordsing provided to us by our pal, Sam Eliot's Mustache. He ships 'em across the country, I digitize 'em, and you get to hear the results.
This one is Dave Mason at the Chestnut Cabaret. Wiki says, "Chestnut Cabaret was a nightclub located at 38th & Ludlow Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It opened in 1978 and closed in 1994, then it reopened in 1995 renamed the Blockley before its closure in 2013."
Sam happened to have an original ad for the show, clipped out of the newspaper. With that ad to guide me, I found the ad (and two more from earlier dates) on Newspapers.com.
I've now figured out that the Philadelphia Inquirer had a Friday entertainment section where the club and concert ads were placed.
It was different here.... while we had two San Francisco newspapers "...in 1965, the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner operated under a Joint Operating Agreement... The Examiner published the Sunday paper's news sections and glossy magazine, and the Chronicle contributed the features."
Entertainment ads were in the S.F. Chronicle's "Datebook" feature - locally referred to as "the pink section" because they originally published it on pink newsprint.
Anyway....concert ads were on Sundays here; it's weird to find 'em on a Friday in Philadelphia. What day did they run in your area?
