Nice I'm sure.
Maybe to digress a little, I saw alot of shows down there.
every weekend it was Quicksilver, Country Joe, Santana,
Greatfull Dead, Jefferson Airplane, et. al.
Only 3 bands really impressed me.
1) Jefferson Airplane
Sounded just like their records but louder
And dressed 'rich hippy' (not raggedly like the Dead)
2) Mobey Grape
(Saw them at (IIRC?) Machinist all)
Even tighter than the Airplane with equal cleaness of sound
3) Sly and the Family Stone
(House band at 'Frenchie's' in San Leandro)
Introduced me to syncopation ......
