Gigography

1968 June

• 01: USA - Lake Berryessa Bowl, Napa, CA
  as "The Spiders" with Loading Zone.
  Unlikely to be the ACG. The band had just recently changed their name to Alice Cooper, from the Nazz, so the Spiders is already an old name, as far as the band was concerned.

  Poster exists for this date with Beefheart and Portable People, but the poster is also attributed to the same date in 1972. Combined, this makes the date very suspect so unlikely to have happened — for the Alice Cooper group.
