Dave Pearlman on the Diamond Head Crater Festivals

"Hello everyone. I have enjoyed reading all of the comments about the Sunshine Festival. I was fortunate to be part of the festivities in 1974 when I played pedal steel guitar on stage with David Carradine and then Dobro with Ramblin' Jack Elliot. We came over as part of a film documentary (that was never finished) that also included Bonnie Bramlett. We stayed and rehearsed in Hana for a few weeks at Red Shepperd's ranch where he had a stage built for us to perform for a few friends before going to Diamond Head. ( I have a picture or two of that stage). What I don't have is any pictures of myself on stage at the Festival and would really love it if anyone has those and would be willing to share. All I have (to go with my memories) is a big yellow button and a now worn tank top with the Sunshine "poster" on it. Also, I have read here about Journey's 1977 appearance but I am pretty sure that they played after us in 1974; Neil Schon's amp blew and he used my Fender Twin Reverb amp (which I still own) to finish the show. I went on to tour with Dan Fogelberg for a few years (and others), opened a recording studio in Los Angeles and now manufacture microphones. Again, if anyone has pictures of the acts I worked with I would appreciate any copies. Mahalo... Dave Pearlman rtndrascal@aol.com
