A Really Good Show at the Ruth Eckerd Show last p.m. !
The concert was set — up as most of their Tour Shows are … 70 mins. 30 min. Break,
followed by another Set of 70.mins! A Great Farewell show in the TAMPA / Clearwater Area!
Seemingly, by the pictures, Some of the Venues offer MORE FREEDOM in their Venues!!
Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater…Well, Heres’ How it was !!
(1.) No Cameras Permitted,
(2. ) No Camcorders Permitted
(3.) No Flash Cameras, S.L.R. jobs
(4. ) No Still Photos/ or Digital Cameras.Permitted .
The WHOLE HOUSE was A SELLOUT !!
We had Good Seats, However the “Meet and Greet ” Oportunities/ Option was sold Out, Just as
the Concert was Announced (No advanced Notice ! Most people didn’t know they existed !)
Once Again, I would Like to Commend the Group and their Musical Accompanists !
A Well– heeled 8 Person Acompanying Musicians !!
Even though, No Pictures / Cameras Permitted, I managed to Get My Wife a Tee — Shirt
@ ( $ 35.00).
We are Feeling that their Promoters // Tour Agents didn’t think TAMPA / CLEARWATER . Area
was Going to be that much of A “SHOW As ” NO Programs Were Available For the fans and the
Public !
The Head Usher Told Me that Stage Security was Handling the Autographs…We Had a Mini–
Poster of the Film ” HEAD ” That My Wife had received from a Co — Worker. Yep, You Guessed
It. Even though I had the Blue Sharpie Pen….AND the Poster… NO AUTOGRAPHS !!
We STILL Enjoyed the Show, However, I’ve Gotten FAR Much More Cooperation With Other
Venues in the Past !!
FREEDOM and Sincerity,
Broadsword.
P.S. Does anyone know who We could Write or E — Mail Reguarding The Ruth Eckerd Hall, or
the Monkees’ Management ??
Go to the site, you should find it there.
Topic related to a picture I took:

I tried to upload the picture to Monkees.net but it was too large (Hi Res .jpg)
Anyway, the photo was taken one week ago at 217 Thompson in Greenwich Village, New York City, former location of Davy’s boutique Zilch. I in fact had the pleasure of shopping there several times in the Summer of ’68 when I lived a couple of blocks away.
Although the location is currently a postal / package service store, the doors into the store retain the distinctive “Z” handles from the Zilch days.
Wow I am going to the Ruth Eckerd show next week. glad I read your post. I called them a while ago about meet and greet and they are not even having it. I will still bring my IPAD everyone will have something to take pics so I don’t think those ushers at REH can escort everyone out but we will see…
