Those were the days! I'm glad I could provide some confirmation for you, of Pearl's appearance at the park. Thank you for commenting!<br /><br />Oh, and just in case you are interested, here are some pics of Count Basie performing at Carnation Plaza Gardens, in 1974:<br /><br />https://gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com/2016/09/count-basie-at-disneyland-june-1974.html<br /><br />And here's a series of Harry James performing there in 1972:<br /><br />https://gorillasdontblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/harry-james-plaza-gardens-august-1972.html<br /><br />TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-7153883034572022592023-07-07T16:58:29.811-07:002023-07-07T16:58:29.811-07:00Thanks for this.

I was working at DL that year and signed myself into the park for this event. I had better memories (and a photo!) of Count Basie w/ his orchestra and Glenn Miller's Orchestra at Carnation Plaza Gardens (probably in 1977).Bill Weinbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09060281411372787029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-8653043639996784192009-12-01T18:11:30.090-08:002009-12-01T18:11:30.090-08:00Very cool!

It was attached to the island, but it could be moved. Towards the end of the eighties, I think it just sort of stayed there all the time.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you too, VDT!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-56862781865528235032009-11-26T07:02:12.337-08:002009-11-26T07:02:12.337-08:00I remember the floating stage.

My friends try to convince me the "fantasmic stage" was always there, but I think this is what they are thinking of.<br /><br />Looking forward to your 1981 Pearl Bailey trip report, even minus a Pearl Photo (Maybe we can find one one the net somewhere?)...<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving TokyoMagic, I hope you have a great holiday.Vintage Disneyland Ticketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790755040005517146noreply@blogger.com
