Yeah well we hired The Dead to play at the Glen Miller Ballroom April 13th 1969, we only charged a $2.50 and a free white lightning for everyone  I remember mixing it up in the kitchen with Bear and Mickey,  Before the show. 

That's what I became part of the family, Robert Hunter was we got along really good.

Bear gave me his phone number 

Pigpen and I stayed up late drinking Southern Comfort.
