Drums
I believe Mickey drummed for NRPS through 1970, if memory serves me right. He's on their 1st album & yes, it was during the American Beauty/Workingman's Dead era.......xoxo Gypsy Cowgirl




Location
The Dead finished playing at about 5AM at Stonybrook on the morning of 11-1-70.It got light a short time after the show.I guess the two bands could have made it to the Airport soon after and landed in S.F. by noon or so.No big deal, just wondering.I will have to do a write up about the two shows from 10-31-70.Holy Halloween Batman!,what a night.
