True for both of the ones I saw and both were in relatively small
venues...Hockey arena size and I sat pretty close for each concert.
Concert systems were really not very good in those days and there
actually was a lot of screaming going on.

Worst sound system I ever experienced at a concert, though, was within
the last 15 years- I took one of the kids to see Dylan. Godawful
balance.

>Hendrix opened up for that Monkees in 67. That would have been amazing on several different levels.

I am sure.
