In Concert Over The Years

Underground Fire members have been generous in allowing their photos to be used in the makeup of these pages. Taken together, the photos give us a clearer picture of the band members over the years. The most recent concert is covered with Del Halterman's review and photos in the Underground Fire pages. First on this page are photos (with autographs!) from UFer Ed Auzins. The pics were taken at a Saginaw, Michigan teen club called Daniels Den, in July, 1969. The second concert group is from 1988 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The third group of photos comes from UFer Jack Davis, and were taken at Dayton, Ohio in March of this year.

"Underground Fire" is supporting The Ventures HOF Induction Campaign headed by Arnold E. Beverhoudt, Jr. We all feel that the Ventures' induction into the RHOF is long overdue. The Ventures have been together non-stop, "running strong"  for nearly 40 years and have had a tremendous influence on musicians of all styles of music in the past, present and future. Please vote!

A Ventures fan put the Hall Of Fame Induction Campaign into perspective with 16 simple words: "If The Ventures are not eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, then who is?" Please vote!
