In 1975, I was eighteen and I had a lot less common sense, and fewer inhibitions. Although Lisa and I had not yet met, we did live in the same college town.

Being a less than intelligent teen, and being in a rock band was not necessarily a good combination. One night we played a house party at a fairly secluded property in town. Even back then we did house concerts.

After we finished playing, most everyone including myself, were drunk and stoned. Someone had built a fire pit, and the remaining people sat around the fire, and then paired into couples and left. Except me. I was so drunk, stoned, and tired that I passed out by the fire. When I woke up, I was cold, alone, and it was drizzling rain and around 3 AM. The fire was embers, and the last people had abandoned me on the cold ground in the rain.

I stumbled in the dark to my beat up 1962 Ford Falcon, vomited on the ground, and climbed into the back seat where I passed out again. Waking up at dawn with a terrible hangover.

Embarrassing moments come from making mistakes while playing live. Fortunately, because we are jam based and our music is not played the same way twice, we try to recover as best we can.
