53. 1969 Filmore East

May 2018

Went to see the Iron Butterfly (innagatta da vita). The opening group was LED ZEPPELIN... needless to say who blew the doors off the venue... Plant was amazing..
The Grateful Dead at the Filmore was pretty outrageous too. When the concert was over it was daylight outside.. good times...
