Joe Klien, now Newsweek editor, then, Rolling Stone reporter, tells a funny story about how Huey Newton, Black Panther Party Chairman, gave a long, rather boring speech before the band went on. As he introduced them, ALL the black people left the place! "There were like 50 or so people left,so we all sat onstage to hear the band" JK

The benefit came about because the band was on a flight with Huey, who asked them to perform while in mid-air...Jerry, of course agreed. The man who couldn't say no....

3/5/71

Funny story! I always wondered about this show - seemed a strange combo.

By the way the notes for this show are incorrect - the Airwaves Benefit was on 3/3/71 (even though the poster says 3/3/70)

Also, according to the poster it was held at the Oakland Auditorium Arena (aka Kaiser), not Fillmore West.
