not only did I see Ella, at Stanford U, but Jefferson Airplane, Santana, and lots more (I think?.... I was stoned). And cost only $5 to get in.
Then located in San Carlos/Redwood City, was the Circle Star Theater (where the old Excite buildings are); the intimate theater in the round. One could drive there on last notice, to the box office, minutes before the show, and were guaranteed an available ticket/seat. I saw Patti Labelle, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Liberace, Liza Minnelli,Carol Channing, Louis Armstrong.... Mostly all the Vegas Headliners of that time were bound to entertain at the Circle Star. And only 10 minutes from my home. Those were the days. What a treat. Too bad it closed.
