July 24th 1965, the Day that Change my Life, Saw The Supremes Live

[johnbell]

At the age of 16, 47 years ago saw the Supremes Live for the 1st time in Hampton Beach, saw 2 shows that night, became an instant fan.

July 24th 1966, saw them for the 4th time In Atlantic City at the famous Steel Pier. Saw almost 20 shows of The Supremes, Diana Ross, The 70's Supremes

Bought all their records, and became a Motown addict, got almost 300 LP's.

Thanks, Diana, Mary, Florence, Cindy , Jean, Motown for the memories

I can totally identify! Also saw them in Atlantic City 1970 summer. And was supposed to see them at the Latin Casino in NJ but we know what happened there!

Johnbell did you remember anything special? Do you know if Flo's vocals stood out and the stage patter if anything.

Yeap, me and my mon trick my dad to extend our trip after New York And Washignton, to Atlantic City, knowing that The Supremes were there, from fan club newsletter

[johnbell]

At that time Stephanie, didn't even know the name of the girls, only single I had, was Back in my arms again

[smark21]

Anything specific you remember from the show? Any songs/performances that you can still recall?

[johnbell]

It was just before or after The Copa, so when they release the Supremes at The Copa, it was the same show that I saw, was in heaven to be able to relive that night over and over again. One thing, they didn't perform Nothing But Hearteaches witch was release around that time.

First show they had red gowns, and yellow on the second.
