Three Dog night played at EWS three times (12/07/1967, opening for Buffalo Springfield & Charlie Musselwhite; 5/10/1968, playing between Turquoise and the Yardbirds, and 9/10/1969 playing after Savoy Brown and before Poco. I don't have any information that shows Lee Michaels ever played at EWS, but who knows? He did open for the Grateful Dead at UCSB on Memorial Day weekend 1969, and he did play at least once at the Back Door in Ventura.dennisdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414849528463899637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048136935936531412.post-13075653876510735912021-06-10T06:19:46.389-07:002021-06-10T06:19:46.389-07:00Lee Michaels opened for Three Dog Night at EWS.
