dead comment
Second best show ever in my life-sat next to Peter Paul and Mary
Hitched down from college in upstate NY as a birthday prsent to myself (20 years old on 26th) and man did I scalp a great seat...Peter Yarrow's pal had some puff the magic dragonfrom Dan Healy I believe and I met the whole trio- talk about the quintissential 60s experience. to boot the dark stars I somehow got that night were pure and juicy and Tenessee Jed lifted me to visions of deity- Red Rooster blew open my Chakras and I experience my first Kundalini awakening at Radio city where my beloved Trumpet teacher was the Jazz soloist as well...it all comes full circle..
Anyway--Peter Yarrow said to me after THE WHEEL that they had seen the Dead all week and this is the FIRST SHOW that the Dead showed that they still "ARE" as he put it...I knew just what he meant...afterwards I talked with a student of Muktananda who was just at the right place to explain to me WHAT THE frieak Kundalini was- again timing?
I have never had it again other than some Yoga at home where I get a flash...but I know it was divine and that the Dead were instrumental in bringing me to these states..true Shamams and Mister Wier slide may have been the one to pierce the bindu...Hey Now!
