Schedules of upcoming shows sometime conflicted with each other due to changes in the bookings after some schedules were printed. Below is the best information we have on what performers appeared.
Each year, as part of the publicity program, the Circus would print pads of flyers that would be distributed to hotels, restaurants, and other places that people gathered. These flyers would have the complete schedule of shows and concerts along with the ticket prices.
The Spiral Starecase (Scheduled, but did not appear.)
The Spiral Starecase
Sunday, July 20, 1969
A note from Mark Schoifet, New York City:
Thanks for putting together the excellent Music Circus Web site. Thought I would pass along some trivia. If you look at the 1969 concerts, you'll see that there is no act listed for July 20. That's because the Spiral Starecase (the one-hit-wonders of "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" fame) canceled the show because Neil Armstrong was going to walk on the moon that night. I told my father that the show would be canceled but for some reason he didn't think a man walking on the moon was that big a deal. So we drove down from Highland Park and of course the show was canceled. I did, however, get to see the Four Seasons, Fifth Dimension, Lovin' Spoonful, Ramsey Lewis and Gary Puckett and the Union Gap at the Circus. It was a special place.
