It was every bit as touch and go . . .

His bandmates and friends then took him to a safe, comfortable spot and the friends all
trip-sat and kept him peaceful and happy while the rest of the band finished their show.

He played many shows while on good trips.

That sounds like NO fun.

I just remember having to fake the part by ear, cuz the notes did NOT look right.

Luckily I played trombone. If it had been trumpet, I'd have been screwn . . .

and heard just before they went on that they'd taken a bunch of acid. For the entire set the keyboard player just stood behind his keyboard and didn't do anything; didn't play a single note. He just stood there and looked out at the crowd with a blank stare. They were actually really good!
