The song is as apropos in today's reality as it was when I wrote it in 1970. This is the group that Bill Graham refused to hire in the infamous scene in "Last Days of the Fillmore.

  • Graham was completely in the wrong for not inviting you, of all people to play the closing. I'm glad you went down there and told him how you felt. You couldn't have timed it any better, while the cameras were rolling. What was your experience while that whole ordeal was going down, if you don't mind my asking? That, along with Graham's phone conversation with Boz Scaggs is classic, classic film footage. "Fuck you and thanks for the memories!" Love that!

  • @theelevan1 It was eerieO one of the best moments was not caught in either sound or visual was on the stairs as I was leaving, Graham yelled a great line, "Go polish your studs and act tough somewhere else!" to which I replied, "Come on outside and find out how tough I am!" With that Bill turned and went back upstairs.

  • @theelevan1 Take out your teeth and shove them up your nose.

  • @SmelOdies Oh well, a week later after Graham saw the rushes he called me and asked if I'd like to be in the film. So I wound up getting paid to be in the movie. Graham later told me he thought it was the best scene in the whole movie. The whole reason I had said what I said in the film was so he wouldn't forget about me. You have to remember too that Graham was an actor. I saw him yell at someone in a completer rage and then turn around and be all smiles just seconds later.

  • Looked like M.W. wanted no part of Grahams wrath , once Graham started getting hot.

  • @TheMonkeybeat So that's how it really ended. I have to hand it to you for holding your ground with Graham. He seemed like a tough guy. I guess his bark was far worse than his bite. The bottom line is that you should have had the honor of playing music in that film representing the musicians from the scene you created, no matter what band you were playing in at the time. Thanks for filling us in with that missing piece of the story Mike. That's really awesome.

  • History!

    

  • A classic moment in rock history.  FYATFTM!
