Do you recognize the three young men in this picture? On the left is John Paul Jones and on the right Robert Plant, at JTM on May 2nd, 1969, from the rock group, Led Zeppelin and if you look carefully, you can see me in the background.
They did an adlib radio commercial free for me the day this photo was taken and we have a sample of their recording as well as other musician-friends from big name groups of their day. All the recorded commercials were made between 1968 and 1970 for free on a portable home reel to reel tape recorder and kept in storage for 40 years before restoration and transferring to CD format. The result is a somewhat damaged recording but still clear enough to understand.

There were numerous popular recording and touring artists that came to our music center for various needs. We also provided
traveling professional sound system service for many more artists including Led Zeppelin, Credence Clearwater Revival, Earth
Wind and Fire, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Deep Purple, John Mayall Blues Band, Albert Collins, Linda Ronstadt, Blood Sweat
and Tears, Seals and Croft, Kenny Loggins from Alhambra, Elton John in Hawaii, Elvis Presley’s classic “Aloha from
Hawaii” concert broadcast worldwide by satellite, and more…
Hollywood Bowl, United Artists Concert 1971
Above you will also find three photos taken by me of the original Diamond Head Crater Festival called the “Sunshine
Festival” of 1971 which took place within the crater of Diamond Head volcano in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is said that
50,000 people were in attendance and onstage in the photo was the Carlos Santana group. We provided all the sound equipment
and sound-mixing service for the event with my partner Bob Coziar, who ran our Honolulu sound company, known as “Concert
One Stop.” Coziar personally mixed the sound for the event.
Also pictured (Source: http://www.imsai.net/) is Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles, who performed during the festival. Drummer
Buddy Miles’ own group was called the “Buddy Miles Express” and a good friend of Jimi Hendrix who together
formed Jimi’s second recording band “Band of Gypsies” for the recording of the album of the same name.
This album was recorded January 1, 1972 at the Sunshine Festival inside Diamond Head Crater, Honolulu, Hawaii.
