I traveled to this show from NYC. Got there in the middle of the afternoon & staked out a place 20 feet from the stage; a perfect place to check out the topless BABE that teased the crowd while Billy laid down a bump & grind! Too much! The scene at the front was quite lysergic, I wonder what she thought? A great show to end a great month.( I saw 9/19 & 9/26 as well)

The beginning of a love that is eternal.

We drove down from our school to visit a friend who was attending AU, , we had been catching several on this great fall tour of colleges.
The student union was very gracious to put on this free show.
In our friends group were some fellow compatriots who were students at AU, most notably"Dik/Dik", Fellatio, and Dedman???
We were in the middle of the crowd not far behind a soundboard?
There was sufficient humidity in the air to make the sound very ambient.
Most notably to me was the rendition of Brokedown Palace", delivered with a passion and solemnity which was very enhanced by mescaline.What struck me than and now was the lyric content of the song-- kind of a "Death of Hippie" lament .
Having been in my career to 40 +~ shows this particular delivery of this song that night is one of the most memorable .

The student union at AU should be credited for putting on some great shows in that era.
Another memorable show was a small batch Sunday night show with Roger Mcguinns current iteration of the BYRDS at that time featuring a red hot Clarence White on guitar.Mcguin opened up the show by throwing out a cigar box full of joints into the audiance which preceded their intro "Lover of the Bayou"--- eight miles high!!
Thank you guys and girls on that student union.
