Chet Helms (Family Dog Productions) : Hendrix is back in San Francisco and he calls me and asks me to put together a jam with him and Quicksilver and The Grateful Dead. He said he really enjoyed jamming with Frieberg at Monterey and would like to do it again … I told him, 'Sure, I think I can set it up.' I made a few calls and got it together. A friend of mine was managing this restaurant in Sausalito that was on a ferry boat and I set it up for Quicksilver and the Dead to show up and jam with Hendrix… I called Hendrix back and told him to meet us at the ferry boat in Sausalito at 2.00am, that The Dead and Quicksilver would be there and we would jam all night.

We go out to this place, and the guys in the Dead are beat and dead-tired because they had just played The Avalon but, after all, it's a jam with Hendrix, who was a hot item. We sit there from 2.00am until morning, and Hendrix never shows. Everybody in Quicksilver and The Dead were pissed.
