In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years weve heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.
Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.

Michael Galasso is an American composer and violinist based in Paris, France. A musician of classical formation, this violin virtuoso has been experimenting for 30 years with a melodic and rhythmic synthesis in which his affinities with Baroque music are entwined with his American heritage as well as with Iranian and central Asia traditions. His film scores include "In The Mood For Love," "Tango Rashevski," and "Seraphine" for which he was awarded a French Cesar for Best Original Music. He has been a collaborator of theater director Robert Wilson for more than 30 years, writing music for "A Letter For Queen Victoria" (1974), "Les Fables de La Fontaine (2004), and more recently "Quartett" starring Isabelle Huppert.
This video is from Michael Galasso's solo concert at Villa La Magia, closing ceremony for an exhibition by Marco Bagnoli. December 2007.

The Great Wallendas
The Great Wallendas were noted
throughout Europe for their four-man
pyramid and cycling on the high wire.
The act moved to the United States
in 1928 and began an association with
the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
Combined Circus. Later they performed
as freelancers. In 1947 they developed
the unequaled three-tier 7-Man Pyramid.
The Great Wallendas, a 1978 made-for-TV
movie starring Lloyd Bridges as Karl Wallenda,
depicts the act's comeback after a fatal
accident involving several family members
during a performance. [2]
Despite being involved in several
tragedies in his family's acts, Karl
continued with his death-defying stunts.
In 1978, at age 73, Karl attempted a walk
between the two towers of the ten-story
Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico,
on a wire stretched 37 metres (121 feet)
above the pavement, but fell to his death
when winds exceeded 48 kilometres per hour
(30 miles per hour).
