They were at the Frontier in February 1969. They were at the Riviera in 1975. And yes, the December 1976 show was the 3-in-1 gown Hair parody.

thanks!

Did they appear in Vegas after 71 but before Scherrie? did Lynda ever perform there?

and I so wish we could see that all-in-1 monstrosity!

Jean did the Frontier with Mary and Cindy three times. I don't recall Lynda ever performing in Vegas with the group. That final Vegas set with MSS was at one of the smaller venues, I don't recall the name and it's just as well. It was awful.

I believe the 1971 Frontier engagement was recorded for a planned live album. They were introducing a new live set that didn't last for long.

When MSS appeared on Merv Griffin, I think he introduced them by mentioning that they were appearing at the Aladdin Hotel.

Are those all the Vegas shows they did? That's surprising. People make it appear like they were always in Vegas, which technically was never true anyway but still...

well it looks like it was at least nearly an annual show at Vegas, starting in 66. so sounds like the revised list would be

1966 - Flamingo
1967 - Flamingo
early 1969 - Frontier
69/70 - Frontier, DRATS farewell
1970 & 71 & 72 - Frontier, 3x with JMC
1974 - Riviera
Dec 1976 - Caesar
