Well, what a shindig this was! When the Prom Committee asked which group we’d like  for the Prom, many wondered about their grasp of reality.

This list included bands such as Santana. How was that to be? Such a “name” group coming out for a DeKalb County high school prom? And then…came the word that they’d engaged a “local Georgia” band called…

The Allman Brothers Band. Who were they? we wondered. Of course, that contract was signed before the band’s Live At The Fillmore East album (remember albums?) was released. Of course, the band honored their contract, despite their sudden and profound popularity. The State Patrol as well as DeKalb County police had to be called in to control gate-crashers.
