I saw Taj open for The Dead at the Fillmore West in the early seventies.. Taj was wearing a full Dashiki that went to the floor. It was beautiful, as was the man wearing it! I enjoyed an herb break with Garcia and Taj during the band change. Just the three of us standing out on the floor at the right of the stage. (NOT backstage). I remember Jerry commenting on Jesse's excellent guitar work. Native American Jesse Ed Davis was Taj's lead guitaritst and he was a genius at slide, rhythm and lead.

I played with Taj at a blues jam in Wilmington, NC and we talked about his version on Statesboro blues. I read where it inspired Duane to play slide guitar.
Derek Trucks doing a nice jopb here!

@bluesky8921 Where in Wilmington did you see Taj. I am going to school here at UNCW and would love to find somewhere to listen to some good blues.

@WallStreet06 I saw him at the Ice House. Too bad they tore it down. I graduated from UNCW in 1997.
