On July 12, 1969 two friends and I went to MSG to see Blindfaith. Little did we know it would be their only NYC appearance. I remember Delaney and Bonnie were on the card. We sat I believe in the balcony. I also believe MSG was sliced in half for the concert. As the time approached the audience reached a fever pitch. It just became louder as the concert went on. At the end the crowd was delirious. My friend left us and made his way to the front of the stage. As the band left the stage with the audience screaming, from where we sat we could see my friend (!) reach out and grab Ginger Baker's leg. They never returned for an encore.
I never saw Todd play. But there used to be a little club here in NY called "Max's Kansas City". One night while I was getting drunk there and eating chick peas Todd walked in with two young ladies. I spoke to him and got his autograph.
