I wonder if Eric was in the audience?

Ah, the Greek Theater, where I have been in the audience many times! Not that day, though. Nice! It was their 1978 reunion.

I didn't recognize the venue. But now that you mention it the ride up the hill to the Greek Theater was nice. On a motorcycle. On days with light traffic.

That was a Chet Helms production. I met Chet once, some years before that particular concert.

Gringo,

I never met Chet. But I did meet Bill Graham at the Fillmore. He was behind the "bar" selling yogurt. Butterfield Blues Band and Ten Years After were on the bill. I said that Ten Years After was a far better band. Bill agreed. Which just goes to show you the level of talent available back then.

I still think Leo Lions was the best electric bass player I've ever heard.

I did see It's A Beautiful Day at The Family Dog (it might have been Winterland - it has been a while). It was electric.
