Yeah you might've gone overboard a little.
That's ok, they look good
Sounds like great times. I love surf music actually although I never surfed myself.
It must've changed over the years. Bubba Gump is a chain for what I know and yeah it's commercial and tourist oriented, but the whole pier was like that, crowded and full of vendors. Not the best beach (Santa Monica) I saw in Cali either.

All things considered they're making it big time!

The Doobie Brothers used to play at my High School in the early 1970s as well as other local gigs on the Monterey Peninsula. I have lost track of all the bands I have seen in person. I used to work at a night club in Carmel (the Barn at the Mission Ranch) and I saw just about every band that was working the California in the late 70s. And the beaches... Monterey had nice beaches, especially Carmel. Asilomar had the best surf waves, but I quit surfing Asilomar after my neighbor living 2 doors down from me in Pacific Grove got eaten by a great white shark. Seriously... they found him 2 days later with a huge bite out of his torso and surf board.
I lived on Mission Beach in Sandy Eggo starting in '83 I think it was. Sunset Court. Party central. The beach is all but deserted now, as they have banned alcohol there now. That was all it took to pull he plug on the endless parties there. But back then? Holy crap, if I did not have a woodie after walking a block it was a bad day for women there. It was also a bad day if I walked 2 blocks and did not have a beer in my hand. We had outrageous parties on Rockaway Court. They had the 'free electricity' there too, tapped in from a neighbor's electric meter. We used to pull the ladder on the roof so that the cops could not get us at those parties. Live bands were common on the beach. The surf music there was really good then. Twangy treble... The cops were always looking for underage girls and we always had underage girls at our parties. No one ever carded anyone there. Then the cops started threatening to confiscate the band's equipment if they did not stop playing. The bands always stopped playing after that.
When I was at SDSU in the later '80s I (I had moved inland to Del Cerro by then to sober up and finish my engineering degree) I had a professor that had an office at Scripps and he would call me when the waves were up. I had a long board there. The south summer swell and Blacks Beach was my favorite there. I was also on call to work in Hollywood on weekends as well. I met a lot of rock and roll band members doing rock video shoots. I was a mark for women at the end of shoots because they did not know who I was, and I knew the producers. Magically at the end of shoots the women would appear. Then it was off to wrap parties in the hills. Or some club. A lot of bands hung out at the Cat and Fiddle on Sunset. Or at Barneys. I was also able to get into the Rainbow Club on Sunset Blvd because we were on call to fix stuff at the club (plumbing, electrical, etc.). That was a get in if the bouncer liked you kind of place with a line around the block. We just went to the front of the line and ducked under the rope. "Here to fix the plumbing problem!" The women there were way above my pay grade. They also had a second tier club upstairs once you were inside that was even more insane. Sigh... we were spoiled rotten and elite. And we knew it. I also knew some porno producers there. And quite a few celebs, or family of celebs.

The first Bubba Gump's Shrimp Co. (movie tourist rip off) was on Cannery Row in Monterey. I guess they are a chain now? Cannot beat rip off tourists dollar sucker traps. Monterey has COMPLETELY changed since they built the aquarium. When I lived in Pacific Grove I watched them build the aquarium. Big trucks rolled in with the huge pre-built whale sculpture and gobs and gobs of huge rocks. That is now up there with Disneyland for tourist stops in California. Must be hell now that Highway one is closed after the floods and land slides. All the traffic is being funneled out through Highway 68 to Salinas and down Highway 101.
Before the aquarium, Cannery Row was run down and half filled with empty sardine factories from the hey days of fishing there. For decades, where the main entrance to the aquarium is now was Kaliopy Records. It was a huge vinyl record store and head shop with buttons and t-shirts. I won an REO Speedwagon t-shirt there in a drawing once. Later Tower Records bought them out. There were several head shops on the row, and a lot of tourist shops and restaurants. I was a chef there at one of them for about a year. That was before the aquarium opened though. Many years later when I was an engineer at Sun Micro, they used to bus us down for events there, and my GF and I would pick my mother up in Carmel and we would have catered dinners after hours at the aquarium in front of the giant 3 story tanks, with string quartets playing music. Man, it was great during the high tech bubble in the Silicon Valley. We were so spoiled. I was also spoiled growing up around Monterey, and going to university in San Diego. I did not know how good I had it, really.
Oh yeah. I had a 99.3% solar eclipse show here this morning. Over hyped. I have seen partial ones before. Even 0.7% sun is too bright to look at without the special ISO glasses. Weird ominous effect. It was over in a few minutes though. The mobs can go home now.
