1969-02-14 I.A.M.A. Clubhouse, Long Branch, NJ

One show, billed as the 'St Valentines Day Massacre', with Earth the sole advertised act. The very rare posters (see our Gallery tab) tell the story, this show was originally scheduled for the Paddock Lounge but was shifted to the larger IAMA (Italian American Mens Association) venue in order to accommodate strong ticket demand. Drummer Vini Lopez, looking to start a new band, attended this show to watch Bruce in action, setting in motion a chain of events that would quickly see the formation of new band Child. This was seemingly the last-ever Earth gig.
