My friend Bill and his brother Joe were going to go see Johnny Winter and I went along. I had seen the Grateful Dead at the December Miami Pop Festival and I was eager to see them again. We stayed at another buddys house that lived close to the Seminole Reservation and were able to go all three days. These were great shows with a lot of energy. I think the entire crowd got turned on, Owsley's product was everywhere being handed out for free, and the vibes were very cool. My friends were amazed by Pig Pen's rambling vocals, Gerry's guitar was right on and the idea of two drummers blew everyone away. This was a very inspired time with an inspired band giving everyone the very best they had to offer.

"When I die bury me deep, put two speakers at my feet, pair of ear phones on my head, and always play The Grateful Dead."
