He called us up and said they were backing Etta James at the Henry J. Kaiser Arena, which originally was the Oakland Auditorium and they had just changed the name of it. Tower Of Power was opening for the Jefferson Starship at the Fox Warfield in San Francisco. So, we said we'll do the gig, but you gotta get a limo and shuttle us back and forth between our gig and yours. It was two nights of performing and recording. That was real interesting because that was when Ethan James was also really, really out of her mind on drugs and alcohol. Of course, The Grateful Dead at that time were very actively using and drinking. I remember we were there for the sound check. The crew was there and everything was set up, but there were no musicians. We were waiting, 'cause we had to get over to San Francisco to do our sound check. We're waiting and waiting until finally one of the crew guys says "Do you want to test your microphones?" We go "yeah, sure." So we went up and they had the most incredible P.A. system. We played the introductory line to "Tell Mama", which was one of Etta James biggest tunes. We knew that song for years. It was a big horn line. So, we went up there and started playing that tune. It was huge in the auditorium. It turned out all the members of The Grateful Dead were there. They were just in sort of these little closets and cubbyholes, smoking and doing there thing. When they heard the horns they came out. I said "You know what? We gotta get this thing going because we gotta go do our own sound check. So, if we're gonna play, let's do it." I remember I got to teach them five songs at the sound check. I taught 'em how to play "Tell Mama", "Hard To Handle", "Midnight Hour", which ironically they had played for years but seemingly didn't know the tune, and "Turn On Your Lovelight". They were so excited. I think at that point they were so stagnant they hadn't learned a new tune in years. I remember Phil Lesh and Bobby Weir coming to me and sayin', "man, that was great! Let's do some more!" (laughs) I said "I gotta go to my sound check, but we'll learn some more tomorrow." Etta James didn't even show up. Then that night when we went back over there to do the show, she was backstage and she calls me in. She had a bunch of cocaine there and was snorting it. She said, "You're gonna have to tell me the lyrics to all these songs." I said, "you know the lyrics to Tell Mama. That's your song." She said "You're gonna have to tell 'em to me." (laughs) I'm standing there telling <br /><br /><br />I'd recommend life love $ the Blues by Etta James, it's from edmontons greatvrecord label true north,from the 1990 s I thinkCarloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05836400229247892182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-18834143969169110582017-08-27T17:34:11.751-07:002017-08-27T17:34:11.751-07:00Great sleuthing.
