And they were these long-haired hippie-type people. And that day I think it was the Youngbloods and the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, and I don't know who else.Īnd all these people were there at the motel. It was one of those big three-day affairs where everybody in the world played.

I used to produce a group called the Youngbloods that were headquartered at San Francisco.
