How many years has it been since Dave played the version by Julie Driscoll + Brian Auger and Trinity?

Set started a little early. I tuned in at 9:58 and This Wheel's On Fire had already begun.
Let's get right to it.

I have two year-specific memories of 1968, when I was 5 yrs old & lived in Falls Church VA.  My folks took us on a political march at the Mall protesting the Vietnam War, but it was not one of the really big ones that got media attenetion (my folks also marched in MLK's Poor People's march & other big ones, but they got a babysitter for us kids as they might have been arrested.)  The other memory is attending the huge memorial service for MLK at the National Cathedral.

All the kids in the church youth group called my Dad Sky Pilot and my mom Earth Mother.

10-way tie for BOS from me, and glad we're getting the long version of "Sky Pilot."

If Dave's going to go heavy on war stuff, I'd LOVE for him to play the Jefferson Airplane's "House at Pooneil Corners," which vividly imagines a world turned to lava and ruin.

DemoConvention '68: I have an odd memory of going to see a Doris Day movie at Radio City Music Hall (Where Were You When the Lights Went Out) that week with my mom, aunt & cousins, and then coming home and watching the convention on TV.

BOS2 Stones. What can a powah-bowah do?

We're 4-for-4 so far--loving Street Fighting Man.

What can a poor boy do, 'cept to sing for a rock-roll band?
