I was a huge blues fan back in the 70's when I was in high school. My friends and I used to go to blues clubs in Oakland and get drunk and go crazy over artists like LC "Good rocking" Robinson, Charlie Musselwhite, etc. The first concert I saw at Winterland BB was the headliner. We all taped pints of Early Times to our backs. I was the only one who got busted. Bill Graham himself looked at me and shook his head, like "kid, you are dumb" My friends felt bad for me so they all gave me shots. I got so drunk I passed out. My buddies deposited me in a seat and when I woke BB was playing. I found myself seated next to a very well dressed older black couple. What a picture..... I also saw Freddie and Albert at other shows. We saw Albert's bus parked in front of the Great American Music hall before his gig, and realized he was sitting in the front seat so we just got on the bus and started talking to him. We asked if he wanted to smoke a joint with us, and he politely declined. The last of the Kings.......wow time has gone by.
