When I arrived at Columbia studios in NYC the first person I met was Albert Grossman, Bob Dylan's manager (Later to become my manager, He also managed Electric Flag, Janice Joplin, Peter Paul & Mary, Paul Butterfield,The Band). The session was for Dylan's new record "Highway 61 Revisited". Besides Albert & Bob I met Mike Bloomfield who was the guitar player for the session. What an incredible source of energy he was. I spent the next year or two doing more sessions including a folk rock session with Tom Rush produced by Al Kooper when I hooked up Bloomfield again. This time with Barry Goldberg. They had just met with Albert who was getting a record from Clive Davis at Columbia Records. The Flag's first gig was the sound track for the Psychedelic movie "The Trip". The next gig was Monterey Pop Festival, the group's first public appearence. DA Pennebaker was making a movie of the festival and Manager Albert Grossman insisted that there would be no "Electric Flag" in the movie unless his new group from Canada the "Paupers" was in the movie. As a consequence there was no Flag in the original Monterey Pop movie. Only in the Re-issue of the movie is there an Electric Flag song. Bad move on Albert's part for our band. The Electric Flag was raised, nurtured and destroyed in Mill Valley California. Band Members: Mike Bloomfield,Nick Gravenites, Barry Goldberg, Harvey Brooks, Herbie Rich, Buddy Miles, , Marcus Doubleday Peter Strazza, Stemsie Hunter, Virgil Gonzales, and a cast of .... + Informações

Freakout - Electric Flag (1968). Taken from the awesome psychedelic move soundtrack LP to "You Are What You Eat" ("A repellent and fascinating depiction of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, along with Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and the East Village in New York".) I picked this LP up from a tiny psych record store down Fan Tan Alley in Victoria, BC. It was about £15 and is in excellent condition, not sure how hard to get hold of it is but there are some great psychedelic tracks on here from Tiny Tim to Peter Yarrow, Electric Flag to The Hawks (later to become 'The Band' not to mention some weird adverts from psych radio personality Rosko.
