Front Row

Hey Soul Mates,
after talking to my Dad last night about the Jackson 5 concert we attended, I decided to do some research and try to get more information. I knew that it was held in "theatre in the round" but had a hard time remembering the year, date and name of the locale. Well, I found this (from the J5-collector).



This would be the front page of the show's program (which I don't think I ever had). Ah, the wonders of the internet. Just ask my friend, Molly! The Jackson 5 World Tour took them all over the place in '74. In late summer, they came to the Front Row theatre. And they had just introduced Dancing Machine and the "robot" dance. I think only my brother and Dad will care, but I'm sharing anyway. The night before we went to the show, my Dad had taken a group of kids from the neighborhood projects and he scoped out the venue. So when we took us the next night, he knew where the brothers would make their entrances and got us on the aisle that Michael would use. As a result, I got to shake Michael's hand and if you don't think that's a big deal to me, you've never met me. Thanks, Dad!

Love, Power, Peace... and Dancin', Dancin', Dancin'!
