Hey! Thanks for posting this! I'm at 0:30 with my Gibson guitar (still have it!) backstage, also at 2:00 with Tom Kuhata of The Rock Pilots and hanging in the dressing room at 3:02 with you guys and some of the other bands, I remember you guys well, you were good people and really great on stage! Cheers! - Alan M.
How long did you stay in Japan Alan? I've been trying to be an actor here in LA for quite a while now. Let me know when you're gigging in town okay? I use a Breedlove 12-string and Godin now....Roberto
@usafbrat50 - Hey Roberto! I was in Japan from '68 til 1974. I left Japan and went to the UK and lived and worked there until 1980. I'm so glad to see these pics, because I had almost nothing of from Expo 70 before. Can you please send me jpg copies to my email?

I have a Taylor 12 string and I love it!
My brother in law is USAF has been flying F-16s, he's still on active duty.
I wish you all the best in your acting in LA!! Keep in touch! - Alan
I'll send the pics to you, do you want just the backstage stuff or all the Expo pics? Go USAF! I'm a brat myself my Dad worked on B-47's when we were stationed at Brize Norton RAF in the early 60s. I used to watch TOTP and Ready, Steady, Go! If you're on facebook can you add me? I go by Roberto Kawata there.
I had a couple of 335s in the late 70s after listening to Larry Carlton and Lee Ritenour. I ended up with a Howard Roberts Fusion, an L6 and then switched to Strats for a while. In Japan I mostly used a MIJ Mosrite 'cos I loved The Ventures. A friend of mine wrote Diamond Head for them and played guitar for The T-Bones.
