SNACK Sunday
A great day, but at the time, I was disappointed that the Dead were given about 45 minutes. I was there to seem them. Their Blues for Allah was awesome, but there wasn't great acceptance from the crowd. Between acts, there were celebrity speakers, like Marlon Brando. The biggest cheer went to Willie Mays. Neil Young and The Band played a lot from On the Beach, and then Neil left and Dylan came out and brought down the house. Best line of the day went to Larry Graham: "Do you know how hard it is to get funky at 10:30 Sunday morning?"
Willie Mays still got the
Willie Mays still got the biggest hand tho I kept hopin it would be Dylan backed by the Dead.
Great event for a good cause!
Liked Blues for Allah was very good. Many performers that day are on Wolfgang Vault. Doobie Brothers were very good.
