Dickey standing behind Butch and Jaimoe. I saw Dickey do that a few times in the Chuck/Lamar lineup. 

And Dickey is playing the SG he gave Duane for slide guitar later in 1970 when Dickey decided to play a Les Paul. 

In January to about late April 1970 I recall Dickey playing a Stratocaster. And in 1969 Dickey played a Gibson ES-335. 

I wonder how many there realized these young men who, for a while, would become the biggest band in America? 1973 to 74 or 75. 

And it was one of 305 shows the ABB did in 1970. Their busiest year supposedly. 

This is 1970. Guess it sounded something like this!!

Mark David Chapman was attending that high school during that time period.

@oldcoot Yoko Ono shows up everytime he is up for parole insisting he not be released and so far he is still there. 

He was basically angry and jealous because John Lennon was John Lennon and not him. Mark David Chapman wanted to be John Lennon.
