The second set was scheduled to begin at 10 or 11 PM...I think it was closer to 2 AM before it started.
The crowd was let in free for the late show. No tickets taken at the door. A light projectionist wore a wizard costume, pointed hat and all. Pig Pen wore a firemans hat that had each panel painted a different flouresent color. How your day "glowin ?" Due to a late start the show ended around 5AM. As we filed out the back door of the Gym, Pig Pen was right in front of me and I had to wait while he loaded into the limo. I said "thanks alot Pig Pen" and he asked "Did you have a good time?" and I replied "Yes" and he replied "That's good" My one time meeting Pig Pen. Makes sense as it was November 1st, Day of the Dead. I hitched a ride home in a Dodge Charger and the guy drove 90.Time and Space warping from the past to the future.
Location
By 1970 Dark Star was becoming a rarity. They continued to play St. Stephen, but every St. Stephen really needs a Dark Star in front of it. Also they should have played a Lovelight after NFA, just like they did on 10/30. The Eleven is missed too.
