This was a benefit concert produced by Bill Graham Presents for the people of El Salvador. It was called ‘Blues For Salvador’ and featured Garcia, Weir, Carlos Santana, Boz Scaggs, NRBQ, Bonnie Raitt and Tower of Power. I was on assignment for Rolling Stone magazine and saw Bill Graham walk into a dressing room side-stage and just followed him. Garcia and Weir were in there, in their Hawaiian shirts just back from scuba diving off the Big Island (Hawaii). I said, ‘Hey, can I get a shot for Rolling Stone magazine?’”
