notes
* the
festival lasted eight days....
* it
billed 97
acts plus
a
'special judging of junior bands'
* a
bottom note reveals that it was part of a series of
'competitions':
'program for
the bay
area's battle
of the bands [...]
was not available at press time.'
* considering
the size of this happening, this program must be the
legendary,
but equally
mysterious fourth annual teenage fair....
* publications
which mention a legendary, but equally mysterious
1965 battle
of the claremont / pomona college bands
concert
must have
been on
a similar wrong track (speaking afterwards)

notes
* original
source
unknown, but the fold in it reveals us it's a paper
* yes, the festival
was sponsored by vox electronic equipments
* this picture has
been published earlier, in the anthology 'the dust blows
forward';
but it was editorially
manipulated and incomplete -
so it looses the battle
against this better version....
