The show was in the gymnasium of Regis College and may have been free or maybe $5. The three of them set up on the gym floor and blew a house of less than 500 away. Following the gig he headed over to The Family Dog, a Denver venue with it's own story. There he met local players, Tommy Bolan and Otis Taylor, both in their teens, and played to the wee hours. A splendid time was shared by all.
