20th June 1970 - The Jackson 5 perform their concert at the Forum, in LA, in front of an audience of 18,000 and bringing in receipts of $100,000. At one point in the show, teenage girls invade the stage forcing the group to run for safety until order is restored.
Michael described the pandemonium at the concert and at the concert in San Francisco the night before to a 'Soul' interviewer: "In San Francisco and Los Angeles, it looked like the walls were falling the way hundreds of them came at the stage all together. But we have to practice getting away, too, so we're ready to drop everything and run. Jermaine dropped his guitar and took off at the end of the Forum concert. We can always get a new guitar for him, but he'd be kinda hard to replace."
Elgin Baylor better known for his basketball career helped them promote this concert
