Did you see Black Sabbath at Cal Jam? What was the best show you ever saw at Spanky’s? Where was the first concert you ever attended in the Inland Empire?
I’m collecting location-specific musical memories for an upcoming project. From The Rolling Stones’ playing their first U.S. tour date at the Swing in San Bernardino to the birth of Ozzfest at Devore, we have a ton of music history in the Inland Empire.
Also, if you have old ticket stubs, flyers, pictures or any other memorabilia, let me know. Fill out the form below. I’m asking for contact information just so I can follow up if necessary. Right now I’m trying to keep everything limited to Riverside and San Bernardino Counties to make it manageable.
If you have any questions or want to know more about what I’m working on, feel free to send me an email at vfranko@pe.com. If you want to see the form in full screen mode, click here.
