Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Touch n Go Band
Bill Fulton Touch N Go Concord July 14 1986 documents a live performance by Touch N Go Band at the Concord Sheraton Hotel in Concord, California. Bill Fulton performed on keyboards and piano with the group on July 14, 1986. The venue, now known as the Concord Plaza Hotel, is located at 45 John Glenn Drive.
This Concord appearance followed the band’s Portland dates earlier in July. Therefore, the entry provides another glimpse of the travel and scheduling involved in professional live music. Working bands often moved from one engagement to another while maintaining a consistent musical presentation. For the musicians, that meant adapting quickly to a new stage, room, audience, and local environment.
Keyboard and piano duties also required considerable flexibility. Fulton could support the ensemble through chordal accompaniment, rhythmic figures, introductions, fills, and other musical functions. Moreover, the keyboard chair often connects the rhythm section with the melodic and harmonic structure of an arrangement. Listening is just as important as playing.
Touch N Go in Concord, California
The July 14 performance began another documented sequence of Touch N Go appearances. The hotel has operated under different names over the years, and the current Concord Plaza Hotel continues to occupy the same John Glenn Drive location. Information about the present-day property is available at the Concord Plaza Hotel website.
Historical event entries like this help preserve the smaller details of a professional career. Recordings, television credits, and major concerts naturally receive attention. However, regular live engagements also played an important role in Fulton’s development and experience as a working musician.
