...Paul's Mall resonates clearly. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Taj Mahal." Mr. Taj Mahal? The name sounds pretentious enough. I can't help but wonder how many people in the world have been similarly introduced as Mr. Westminister Abbey. Ms. Parthenon, Dr. Eiffel Tower or Mrs. Coliseum. But as soon as the lights come on and the man struts on stage, all preconceived doubts about Mr. Taj Mahal are quickly erased. His presence is charged with a playfulness that know of no pretentions and his music oozes with the mmmmmmmmmmm's, uh huhhhhh's, and ooooooooooOOOOOOOOh's that...
Says Mayor Gary Porter: "We're talking about putting a couple of hundred thousand dollars into the arts, theaters and museums. You can't do that when times are hard."

The rest of the band, while generally deferring to Sly, is tight and polished, and could hardly be accused of drabness either...
Three Dog Night and Souther, Hillman and Furay play the big Saturday night Cape date. The Dogs are actually pretty bad although they've somehow earned a reputation for being great in concert; the Coliseum is intimate for them, since they usually play in football stadiums and the like. SH&F are part of the Byrds-Poco-L.A. set and very mellow...
