Montreal, Canada, August 6, 1967. We were there on vacation at the time and the Dead & the Airplane just happened to be playing together while we were there.

I guess now it would be impossible to see two great bands performing together for free! Grace Slick was one the best female rock icons for sure. Just a tiny little step below Janis Joplin, in my opinion.
