This jam recorded at the Fillmore East in June of 1971. In June of 71 I was undergoing a torturous Basic Training regime at Ft. Campbell KY. I was 17 at the time, weighed 130 lbs, and was feeling my Wheaties. A couple of Drill Sergeants knocked the wise ass out of me so well that I’ve not seen that attitude since.
The draft was still on in 71 and the Drills were accustomed to dealing with folk that were looking for a way out of that the man made hell. There was but one way out and that involved Class A’s and a parade field.
