Those were the cosmic days! I sat on the hood of a blue WPLR fm radio station (New Haven, CT) bus right in front of the stage right - the Boy were wide awake AND SMOKIN!!

F*^KIN' KILLER!!!!! Scottish folk singer Donavan is the original author of this song. The Allman's made the most famous recording. I always thought the Dead should have made it part of their repitaur (couldn't get a spell check for that word. NUTS!). Also wish there was video for this entire show. But beautiful job who ever created this! Thanks!!

@scottcoppola - Thank you, yeah, it was like finding a gem in the closet.

Great video, even though you forgot to mention that the Band was also part of the jam. Great sounding jam. Even though everyone was on something different. The Dead were tripping, the Allman Bros were coked out and the Band was sloshed, literally. Bill Graham was standing behind Danko holding him up by his guitar strap because he was extremely drunk. But somehow it worked.

Ahhhh the memories!

I had been there for two days. I specifically remember hearing this the night we had to walk back to the town of Watkins Glen and then figure out how to get home that morning. But it did make the hike a lot easier! Somehow, in the middle of a gazillion other hitchhikers, we got a ride all the way home!
