Today’s Monday Matinee post is almost certainly the greatest assemblage of musical talent on any concert bill.  Some might argue that a few of the music festivals that would occur later in the 60’s had more talent but these were multi day events, not a concert.  I’ll leave it up to you to decide if you agree with me but I’m betting that one look at the list of performers provided below will make this an easy decision for you.
