nobody knew what lay ahead after a few unfocused warmups, the full dead giving us the new blues for allah BG gave me a full size poster while in line, i thanked him cause bob fried was such a far out poster artist when he walk byine, he came back with a poster
I was lucky to get a ticket to this, my only West Coast show, while visiting S.F. (Hitchhiked in Sept. 74 & hung out until Aug. 75.) It was incredible to hear the Dead playing in their home town! Peggy-O and Big River were always favorites of mine, but Franklin's Tower blew me away...the first time I heard any of the Blues For Allah material. Kingfish and Keith & Donna's band were bonuses...

Did you get to see Kingfish at Stanford Movie Theatre? The Varsity? El Camino Real Park across from Stanford shopping center. Everyone was there except Phil New Riders Keith & Donna Peter Rowen I used to get my powder where Hoddinot got his. WOW the days.
I saw them at El Camino Park. I was lying on a blanket with my girlfriend enjoying the morning sunlight just outside the park by a hedge. I was dozing and suddenly heard some music. We walked around the hedge into the park and there they were doing a sound check. I could hardly believe my eyes! Was this a dream? No. The stage was set up back near the railroad tracks and they soon started the concert. We moved our blanket in and enjoyed the show.

This was one of those Keith and Donna, Kingfish and Jerry Garcia Band shows that actually turned into a Dead show during their '75 hiatus. Mickey Hart's first appearance in three years. A sold out show. We brought a buddy who didn't have a ticket. I think the gate was $10, max. We got him a ticket for $15, a half-pint of Cuervo Gold and two fat joints of killer weed. Even then, I felt bad for the guy who thought that was such a great deal because he missed the Dead! Those 1975 Kingfish shows were always so awesome.
