Miami Hotel Pahlavi Avenue Tehran Iran 1968 -1969

Our visit to Tehran in 1968. We got the 'phone call on Wednesday from our agent, and flew to Tehran on Sunday morning October 26th 1968. I was 22. One night we played for the Shah at a private party at a ski lodge in the mountains; it was all quite an incredible adventure, and we met some wonderful people. Everyone was so kind & friendly. I'll never forget the little corner shop on Television Avenue, where we bought our bread and groceries. The young guy outside the hotel by the white car at the end of the film is Mahmoud Ghorbani who was then married to the singer Googoosh. We all had good fun together. Mahmoud's brother was the owner of the Miami Hotel.
