Wow, what a day, got to see Grace Slick and was turned onto the Dead.
I snuck backstage at expo, I think it ws teh youth pavillion or gardens or something, if you could call it that and bummed a cig from Pigpen and got a light from Grace while Jack, Jorma and Billy stood by. I started talking about Vancouver and the like and everyone just kept nodding OK and smiling and giggling a little and not saying much at all. I later found out most were dosed that day.
Concert never really got going, too many people and the bands were all pretty laizzez-faire in their attitudes to do much to fast.
I was 16, visiting Montreal with family to see Expo for the summer and disallusioned with the middleclass world I came from.
I left there for Vancouver BC and decided to be a hippie and here now 40 years later I am just that, still, and play in band that does Dead and Garcia Band music. Were called DUSTCOVER.
Thanks for all the good times and all the great shows I saw on the west coast.

By the way it was the only show they played in MTL.
Don't forget Place Ville Marie, that afternoon...
The Dead, and the Jefferson Airplane both performed a free concert, Sunday afternoon, in the square at Place Ville Marie.
