Don't worry about it. The discoloration above is not really real.
I purposely did not shave, and she is not a professional
photographer.

Anything done at the Swing Auditorium had to be 1980 or before.
The Swing was destroyed that year when an airplane full of weed crashed into it.

I thought the above concert was probably around 1983 or 1984
at the auditorium within the Orange Show Road fairgrounds.
I only knew the location within as the Swing auditorium in San
Bernadino and I did start going to concerts there around
1977 or 1978. Maybe they changed the name to Rock Palace?
The girls mentioned above I'm certain about the dates.
Those were the 3 bands together at the best show I saw there.

The Swing was cool.
It seemed to be designed to hold about 7-or-8,000, most of them standing on the floor - but it normally held as many people as there were tickets sold.
No security inside at all. Bottles, fireworks, all kinds of frisbees flying. More than one band was "trashed" off the stage. Guys like the Ramones and John-Cougar [Mellankamp / Finklestein] shortened their sets abrubtly amid a shitstorm of garbage.
The joint they have used since is the Orange Pavillion, right next to the footprint of the old Swing.
It's smaller, but set up inside the same general-admission way the Swing was.
Security is tight at the Orange Pavillion though, or at least it was the times I've been there (Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, UFO). You get a real search at the gate! The days of bringing in a bong-and-a-bottle are gone.
