  1. IMHO, the smell of urine came from the lack of women’s toilet facilities in these 60’s stadiums and arenas. The clientele for these venues were men and they were set up for men. There were maybe 20 women’s toilets for the whole crowd, not quick and easy urinals. Having seen the Beatles at The Cow Palace and Candlestick, I know where of I speak. It was worth it!
    I sincerely enjoy your podcast and look forward to every episode.
    Thanks.

    Ah, a namecheck for BRENTWOOD in Essex (UK)…… Paul Simon played his first solo UK gigs there at the Railway Inn Folk Club in 1964. He soon got together with a local girl (Kathy Chitty) to whom ‘Kathy’s Song’ was dedicated. When Paul later played the folk clubs in northern Engluand, he wrote ‘Homeward Bound’ on the platform at Widnes railway station – it wasn’t a song about going home to New York, but to Brentwood, where he lived with Kathy!
