I remember the movie——”This is Melvin Belli with the Rolling Stones” was a line I always remember——great film.

At the opening of the concert there is a very brief appearance of the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram Parsons. One only saw the back of Parsons with his Nudie Jacket on. There is a release through Amoeba Records of a live set of the Burrito Brothers during this time frame. In early April 1969, the Dead played out on the Lincoln Hwy...Bear, (George Owsely of the LSD fame(?) was their soundman. He recorded most all Dead sets and rarely recorded opening acts but luckily he recorded the Flying Burrito Brothers that night. It sat in his air conditioned vault for decades until finally it was released. Wonderful set with Parsons in full voice. He only lasted with the band for a short while....it was his own band! But he left it.
Ah...those were the days.
