Bruce Bubier remembers:
"Here is an ad from the Evening Capital, the Annapolis newspaper. This would be the second time Trapeze played Annapolis. I lived one mile away. I did attend the Zappa show, but not the Trapeze. I wish that I had, but hey, I was just a dumb 14-year old!!"
Chuck Hutsler remembers:
"The admission fee was $5.00 per car load and they had quite a strong showing. My most
vivid recollection of this show was that the band sounded better than Zep and during
"Black Cloud", one of the roadies pulled Glenn's pants down, exposing his red bikini
briefs, giving all the ladies in the crowd quite a thrill."
