720423

Honolulu International Convention Center, with Humble Pie. "Most concerts were held in the HIC Arena but something else was going on that night so the show was held in the low ceiling convention center. There were ceiling supports all over so you had to be careful not to get behind one of those and lose visibility. I was 15 at the time and definitely stoned but one thing's for sure, it was one of the loudest concerts I've ever been too. The PA was meant for the arena so in this much smaller place it really blasted." (thanks, Joel Barron)

72xxxx They played at the Kennedy Centre, in Washington DC on this tour. KenCen used to host occasional rock shows at the time. (I saw PH as well as ELO there, so maybe there had to be some "classical" connection, no matter how tenuous.) I was there, got in with a SRO ticket (standing room only.) Eagles' first national tour. I have no idea of the date, but it was 1972, my senior year of HS.

'You have the last date listed as the Kennedy Centre. It was Constitution Hall instead. The Kennedy Centre was on a later tour I believe. Or vice versa. But they definitely played CH,' says David Pelletier
