OK, I asked my brother whom he had seen at the Golden Bear in Huntington
Beach, California, and to help me remember whom I had seen, too. Here is
his reply below.

for the best in obscure '50s and '60s music
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw Linda Ronstadt after she'd left the Stone Poneys and gone solo. Her
backup band may have been when some of the Eagles backed her up. Not
actually sure who was in her band, though...
I also saw Poco there. The first show we saw was the Sir Douglas Quintet in
the spring of '66 when The Rains Came was a hit. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
opened up for them. That was the first time we saw Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
We saw them probably between 10-15 times there...
I also saw Quicksilver Messenger Service there before their first album came
out. I sat in the front row and put my glass of coke on the stage and
watched it vibrate across the stage from the loud stage volume. I also saw
Spirit there. Also, I saw the Paul Butterfield Blues Band when both Mike
Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop were playing in the band. We saw several solo
acts there as well... Pretty sure I saw Hoyt Axton there when he was still
doing folk music...
Later, I saw Jennifer Warnes there. I saw Larry Carlton there as well in
the late '70s. And I've seen others, too... I also saw Laura Nyro in the
rebuilt Golden Bear when they were trying to bring it back in the strip mall
there...
