EUPHORIA, founded by Hippies... a warehouse wtih a huge dance floor on the wrong wide of the tracks.  ONLY the hip bands played there, including the Holy Modal Rounders, an east coast act that ended up based in Portland through the psych years. You couldn't get in or out when the freight trains were switching!  People had to run out and move their cars off the tracks.

I saw the Flying Burrito bros, Hall and Oates, Lenny and Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley, at the Euphoria (just to name a few).
