I don’t know that Big Brother and the Holding Company ever appeared at Eagles but perhaps. The Dead played multiple shows as did Pink Floyd. Chicago Transit Authority, Joe Cocker, Blue Cheer, Country Joe and the Fish, Steve Miller, Blue Cheer, tons more
What a fantastic place for concerts. No bleechers, benches or seats, just sat or layed on the floor. I met soooo many beautiful hippie chicks there. Good memories and some fantastic music. I remember seeing Iron Butterfly, they returned from a set break and announced, “We are gonna play the second side of our album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, best drum solo in the world.
