Ebbets Field named after the famed Brooklyn Dodgers ballpark was a small club in the early to late 70's located on 1020 15th street in Denver, CO.
It held 238 people which made for an intimate setting between performer and audience. The stage faced bleacher type seating which resembled seating at a sports venue. The walls, floor and seating were all covered in black, orange and brown shag carpert. Most of the Ebbets shows were broadcast on station KDPI and KFML in Denver. Shows were supported by The Listen Up Company, who also were responsible for the fine sound of these shows.
The club was paid by the bands record label to record the shows. Some shows were broadcast as they happened and others were broadcast later with the bands permission. Music from Rock to Country To Bluegrass to Jazz was played there.
In the mid 1960's McLean became associated with the famed folk music agent Harold Leventhal for several months before teaming up with his personal manager, Herb Gart, for 18 years. Gart's 18-year tenure as McLean's manager ended acrimoniously in the 1980s. Following Herb Gart's death in September 2018, Don McLean wrote:
I feel it is important to note that Herb did many good things for me in the beginning but could not deal with my success, as odd as that may sound.
In about 1982 Herb told me his associate Walter Hofer who ran Copyright Service Bureau (a collection business for song publishers) had stolen $90,000 from my account but had "put it back". This was a cover story and a lie. Furthermore the amount turned out to be more like $200,000 and because Gart was now complicit in this crime I fired him. He sued me but settled for a small amount and was never heard from again. There is so much of this in my business and artists usually sweep it under the rug but I don t. I want people to know the truth about my journey.
