The concert at Ventura State Beach Park. Not sure about the date of concert, Thu 29 Jul 1976 or before. On the picture, it seems Wed 28 Jul 1976, and paper is Thu 29 Jul 1976.
Performed by Glacier (not the more known 1980’s Portland band), Cirith Ungol and Manitoba. Sound by Random Noise Sound Co.
What is the setlist for all of the bands? What are the members then? Do you have photos, music or video that we can see or hear? Any more fun facts at that time? What is the short story around the scene, or what is the link to Glacier and Manitoba? And which newspapers has published and photo of Neal Bettie? Most likely it is not “Ventura County – Star*Free Press” (Tue 27 Jul 1976).

Ventura County – Star*Free Press (Thu 29 Jul 1976)
Music, but no mob at beach
If the sky was clouded, the crowd small, and the music less than ear-shattering, it was still a free outdoor concert, and those who went seemed to have had fun.
The concert at Ventura State Beach Park featured three bands, Glacier, Cirith Ungol, and Manitoba, who entertain- ed the crowd that trickled in throughout the afternoon.
State Parks and Recreation Department sponsors had hoped for a larger turnout than the 100 or so persons who had showed up by 1:30 p.m., but they said the response was probably due to the weather-cool and cloudy-as well as late publicity for the concert, which had been postponed from the previous week.
But no one seemed to mind the small- ness of the event.
For a while the big attraction was expected to be a promised strip act by Neal Beattie, Cirith Ungol’s singer. The disrobing failed to take place, however, because a parks and recreation official told Beattie they would prefer he keep his clothes on.
