Well, you've got two weeks to get back to the Fillmore East. I asked Kip to find out who the Brothers like, and he said the first band you said was BB King, and the second was the Grateful Dead. I asked Kip because I felt so bad that I put you on the bill with Blood, Sweat & Tears. When they were in San Francisco, Graham reportedly told their road manager Twiggs Lyndon, "I love your band. The bill had worked against them he wanted to have them back as soon as possible." He asked what bands they liked, and Bill Graham immediately lined them up with their top choices. The story goes that Kip Cohen, managing director of the Fillmore East, told the Allmans "he thought the band was great and everybody had enjoyed working with them. According to Gregg, Graham "had fallen in love with us after he'd heard us." Graham also promptly booked them for some shows at the Fillmore West in January 1970 with BB King, whom the Allmans worshipped. But their next time at the Fillmore East, they were booked with a more compatible band, the Dead.
