Alessandro Scarlatti, Folia - Giannalisa Arena, clavicembalo (harpsichord) YMA SUMAC Chuncho. Tom Waits "Hold On" Tom Waits on the Don Lane Show 1981 (Pt. 2) Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band - Playlist. 234 S. Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA: The Ice House Captain Beefheart/Nitty Gritty Dirt Band June 28-July 3, 1966. This listing from the June 28, 1966 edition of The Pasadena Independent seems unimaginable today: avant garde legendary mystery man Captain Beefheart paired with the authentic Country professionalism of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, in suburban Glendale to boot.
Things were different then. The Ice House in Glendale was connected to The Ice House in Pasadena, although I do not know which one came first. The Ice House in Pasadena (at 24 N. Mentor Avenue) was one of the popular folk coffee houses in Southern California, and aspiring teenage musicians like Ry Cooder and Pamela Polland were regulars on the stage during hoot nights and in the audience for touring acts.
