Live from the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium in 1970, this would be the last time the band performed this song and they did it in front of less than 5000 people. A year earlier the band sold out arenas, but after the Florida incident Jim was done with being a rock n roll star. Less than a year later he was found dead of an apparent heart attack.
It was backstage at that concert allegedly Jim had a lengthy conversation with a catholic priest who later remarked, how intelligent and polite he was. He was nothing like he expected and the priest walked away from that encounter with a new opinion about him and hippies in general.
It doesn't matter who the priest was, maybe I made it up.
The video is from an old 8mm movie camera and the sound was recorded from the board.
