There was a hill behind the stage with a billboard. All of a sudden, I saw some people sitting on the hill. A few of them looked familiar. I realized in an instant that it was Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Bill Kreutzman. In the 1970’s you were always hoping for these serendipitous moments when musicians from your favorite bands would show up and jam together. I felt that these members of the Grateful Dead showed up to give moral support to the Allman Brothers in the wake of tragedy – but, would they actually play?

Happily, they did join to play an epic Mountain Jam together. Most accounts I have seen mention Garcia and Weir, yet, I distinctly remember Kreutzman (and I have seen some photos) as a third drummer. This was a pivotal show in the legacy of the Allman Brothers. It is a shame that the only recording of this event that I can find is a really poor quality audience recording. If this show was recorded by the band or someone in the Grateful Dead’s entourage I hope it will surface.
