Los Angeles Pop Festival 1968

The Los Angeles Pop Festival was held at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in California. The dates of the festival were December 22 and 23, 1968. It was also called a Christmas Happening. Despite extensive research I can't find out much about this gig. It was one of the earliest to be held in a sports stadium, which was later to become the norm. And it also meant people went home at the end of the first day. So it's really not a festival in the way we think about it now. The bands that played were all festival regulars. Weird addition of the Righteous Brothers - can't quite see them fitting in with the heavy crunch of Blue Cheer. The Love Exchange were a short-lived but interesting folk-psyche band from LA whose only album came out in 1968.
