FAMILYDOG

"The San Francisco Rock and Roll scene was invented by

the Family Dog and the Charlatans. All we wanted to do

was throw a big dance to raise money to buy

land in Arizona to run a mail order pet cemetery."

This page provides details of the various Family Dog sponsored shows and events - including those at 660 The Great Highway.  Due to my lack of interest in the latter Maritime Hall shows, they are not included.  If I can find a link to those shows, then no doubt I will add it at a later date.  However, there are a number of other shows included from the Avalon Ballroom that were not put on by the family Dog.
