Notes

The Kaleidoscope was a psychedelic rock venue run by the management of the band Canned Heat. It was only open for about 6 months in 1968. It had some memorable posters and some memorable bands, but it was one of many unsuccessful efforts to create a viable Fillmore type venue in Los Angeles.

Carson were an Australian blues rock and boogie rock band, which formed in January 1970 as Carson County Band. In October 1970 Carson dropped the County Band from their name to avoid being confused for a country music group. Ian Winter joined Carson on guitar at the beginning of 1971.

Carson's debut studio album, Blown, was released in November 1972 on Harvest Records (catalog number SHVL 608) in Australia. It features a blues rock and boogie rock style. The single "Boogie," which was a top 30 hit on the Go-Set National Top 40, is featured on the album, with the track titled "A Boogie" on the vinyl. Blown reached No. 14 on the Go-Set Top 20 Albums chart in December 1972.
