The people were actually on a dance floor dancing to them!!!

BOOKS!
I saved all my major and minor books (English/History) in an old suitcase in a basement. Ten years later it was a 50lb. mass of of sog and mildew!
You've got to be kidding me. I was there! My buddy and I were supposed to be going to a dance nearby at a Catholic school (Keith Hall). We were walking past the Commodore Ballroom (on Thorndike st) and looked up to see the billboard advertising "The Cream". Being the rebels we were in those days we decided to pool every cent we had and go in. I was blown away. It was instrumental in forming my music appreciation over the years. We certainly got some looks being in suit coat and ties. Not sure if it was the same night as you though.
Small world.
