Hiya,

I'm not sure if this one is already in the gallery but if so, does anyone know where the J5 were travelling to/from and the date?

This was in may in Philadelphia,c. 1970.They're touring here for the very first time.

I'm not sure that's true. There is footage from that trip and they were in a sedan & very much awake. In this photo they are in a van, you can tell from the seats, and it's probably the Jackson's VW bus. I have always thought this was taken on their way home from the ABC LP photoshoot for these reasons: (1) Marlon and Jermaine are wearing the clothes they wore for the ABC photoshoot. (2) There are two photos in the ABC photo collage that look like they were also taken inside the same van. (3) This photo first appeared in a Motown-produced coffee table book of photos from their archives. That's all speculation, of course, but I am pretty sure this wasn't taken in Philadelphia.

I'm sure this was. More pictures for the proof.

But I don't know why this was in "Los Angeles 1970" section.
