What I appear to have stumbled on here is a piece on the VU from the MIT's college paper. It announces performances at the Savoy Theatre in Boston on September 22, 23 and 24 1967, providing music for a play called 'The Happening', along with David Hahn's Great Eastern Lights. There's also a picture of the band which I hadn't seen before, biographical info, and some rare quotes from Sesnick. Neat eh?

And this isn't really VU-related, but see http://www-tech.mit.edu/archives/VOL_09 ... 9_P006.pdf for a nice tale of Jonathan Richman and John Felice jumping up to jam with a local band called The Stompers in 1979.

Re: Previously unknown VU dates, Boston Savoy Theatre, Sep 6
Nice post, Mark! The pic is rare but it has been seen before (I believe a print of it was up for auction at eBay last year). The quotes are priceless, though.Mark wrote:Check this out
