I worked at nights at the Plaza servicing the bar with several mates from about 1966 until it closed. Wages were crap but the fun we had. As I worked there I never had to pay to get in and often went "back stage" to chat with the acts. If a band performed there I met them. Some of the regulars were Robert Plant, (Vocals for The Listen and later Led Zepplin)., Carl Palmer (drums for the King Bees and later Crazy world of Arthur Brown then EL & P). Also Move When the Kinks appeared Ray Davis often slipped down stairs for a chat and a beer. Also met Stevie Wonder plus many other acts like the Long John Baldrey Shows with Rod Sewart Julie Driskel & Reggie Dwight (Elton John) . Also Gino Washington and many others. Oh my wasted youth.
