The show didn’t start till about 10 pm, but then it didn’t end till 3:00 am. Everyone seemed to have a good time except John Kahn’ speaker. I drove in from Boulder and the bouncer let me in when I forged the stamp on my wrist. Had to sit on the steps to the stage and got to say hello to everyone.

My first & only New Year’s Eve show!

I left the east coast to see the famous place where my favorite music was made, got in trouble with California cops trying to use fake ID to get in to clubs because I was underage. I was on the street outside the Keystone when some guys came to deliver a grand piano for the show. I said “let me give you a hand”, I grabbed the piano along with the roadies and walked right in to the club. Great New Years Eve show! Bobby joined the band and we all danced until closing time 🙂

My first (& only) New Year’s Eve show. I was living in Venice Beach, CA at the time with one of my best friends (we are Jersey Shore boys). We flew up to Frisco, I think it was like $60 for a round trip ticket. We scored some “Purple Barrel” on the line getting into the Keystone (very clean). The show was incredible, just listen to it. 3 members of the Dead were there while they were on hiatus & the legendary Nicky Hopkins (Jamming With Edward) who appeared to be wasted. I think it let out @ 3:30 am. The boys walked right off the stage up to the bar. After, we walked around UC Berkley and rode the B.A.R.T. (still trippin’) till our flight back to L.A. One of the most fun & memorable nights of my life!
