Somehow through a process of osmosis I ended up front and center next to the stage -- right in front of Grace Slick. She was so trippy beautiful. I was a goner. <br />I will never forget her leaning over the edge of the stage pointing right at me (an ordinary college kid from Long Beach) and singing "Don't you want somebody to love....". She could probably tell by my eyes that I was tripping. Heck, the whole place was probably tripping.

Now I was still tripping on LSD from the night before at the Jefferson Airplane concert but I swear I remember him jumping up on stage with the Moody Blues.

The show the night before had been cancelled (the Airplane's equipment truck driver got busted at the border) and they didn't want to per form without their own equipment and light show. They did one long set, close to 2-1/2 hours. I smuggled in a cassette recorder but the volume completely overloaded the deck and the tape was basically useless. Really unfortunate because it was an amazing show by a band pretty much at the peak of it's game.

It is well known however, that while playing the Long Beach Arena, with special guests, The Moody Blues, a PA failure occurred, ending the JA's performance early/mid set. This lead to the free festival show of both bands at Elysian Fields. Now legendary amongst Angelino's and So Cal lore, as well as occasionally commented on by John Lodge of the Moody's, when playing the LA area.
