The Doors in Concert at Fairgrounds 1968

~
Come back with us now to those hot summer nights when half of Fresno's teens were driving up and down Belmont. Or remember what it was like on Fulton St. before Belmont took the title of "Fresno's Main Drag" Remember the Rainbow Ballroom? Post you night life memories here.

The Doors in Concert at Fairgrounds 1968

Well darn, I missed them at the Fair Grounds. I was somewhat of a late bloomer, concert-wise. The first was Santana at the Fresno Exhibit hall in 1969 but I wish I has seen the Doors instead. Here is the original handbill.

Found this article from the Fresno Bee on Sunday June 2, 1968. Who was lucky enough to be at the fair grounds on the night of June 7th?
