 The Motown Sound was sweeping the nation, but also local bands like The Rationals, Bob Seger and The Frost were getting constant exposure on local radio, along with rock from bands like The James Gang, Sly and the Family Stone and Vanilla Fudge.Many of these bands performed at a local concert venue, The Eastown Theatre, on Harper Avenue.The theatre was a converted movie theatre, and was a short distance from the Bradford home.
