One of the concerts had both The New Delhi River Band and the Cleanliness and Godliness Skiffle Band. We also had our own light show called Temporary Optics which provided the lights for the show. I don't remember what year, but the month was September. We had a great crowd and both bands were well received.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-21308902490227732542023-03-02T16:50:44.958-08:002023-03-02T16:50:44.958-08:00The May 27 1967 show at San Jose State lists the l...The May 27 1967 show at San Jose State lists the light shows as "The Magic Theater" and "The Dentist." <br /><br />see here (scroll down) http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2012/05/david-nelson-and-new-delhi-river-band.htmlCorry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-10755452323067249782023-03-02T16:45:56.821-08:002023-03-02T16:45:56.821-08:00Anon, thanks for the reflection.

From time to time, my friends and I worked the light shows with the Felton dentist Dick Smith. I always thought the band had as much talent and was as fun to watch as any of the San Francisco bands who made it big.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-46234933967771023082022-03-06T11:50:41.372-08:002022-03-06T11:50:41.372-08:00Find the poster at https://shadwell.tripod.com/con...Find the poster at https://shadwell.tripod.com/con1967a.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831522496535998163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-27587937196865575352022-03-06T11:47:30.044-08:002022-03-06T11:47:30.044-08:00There's a poster for the New Delhi River Band ...There's a poster for the New Delhi River Band play a show at the Continental Auditorium with the Electric Prunes and Teddy & His Patches of Feb 25th (1967)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831522496535998163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-37723701940882259802020-09-19T13:43:41.139-07:002020-09-19T13:43:41.139-07:00Mike, glad to be of help.

Not that I ever doubted him of course, but all that wonderful detail really drove it home for me.<br /><br />I have noticed that my son created a Pandora station of psychedelic rock and is equally enthralled by my uncles stories (how ironic given my uncle doesn't even have an email) and I can't wait for him read this article of yours.<br /><br />My uncle thanks you as well and would love to chat with you some time.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Michael CignettiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152887745241013862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-32560719855764823512014-02-01T19:54:01.831-08:002014-02-01T19:54:01.831-08:00Thanks for this information.
