Midnite at the Palace in San Francisco
New Year's Eve 1969-1970
|
|
When the Rolling Stone's Honky Tonk Women boomed from the stage speakers,
the 'girls' rushed the footlights in a high-stepping can-can free for all,
kicking off the first impromptu performance of the Cockettes at the Palace
Theatre Charging the stage during the intermission of an evening with
the Floating Lotus Opera Company, the Cockettes stole the show, and brought
down the house with their outrageous drag and raw energy. It started a
two-and-a-half year bi-coastal odyssey that sky-rocketed the Cockettes to
underground stardom.
