In his twenties, Darryl walked from Los Angeles to Washington DC for peace and continued on to walk in the then Soviet Union. He began performing music on the marches which included participating in the first ever outdoor stadium concert in the history of Russia, produced by Bill Graham, featuring Santana, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt and others.
