I'm writing on behalf of Ryan Walsh, who is writing a book on rock music in Boston in (or circa) 1968. He's asked me to ask the following of you'all:
I'm trying to track down a review of the VU live in Boston from sometime between 1967 and '69 that includes this line:

“An honest-to-goodness chick playing percussion ― do you believe it?”?

The info I'm after is publication name and date, and article title and author.
Many thanks for any possible help with this!

I thought I seen this come up in discussion before. And I also felt there another something to do with someone writing a book on the Boston live music scene before too. Feelings of Deja Vu, until I found this

Oct 1 1968. Steve Grant, The Tech

And here's the thread from 2005. (See post by Mark.) But I think the guy writing a book and asking for help has come up conversation before. I found this PDF in 3 minutes using the term REVIEW and BOSTON. :).

I found this PDF link using the term REVIEW and BOSTON. Took three minutes :).
