Standing in Walgreens and I hear a familiar voice on the overheads. Bill Champlin with @chicagotheband on their final charting hit “Here In My Heart.” Stay tuned for more from Bill next month.

The Dead began a three-night run at the Avalon Ballroom on this day in 1969, supported by Sons of Champlin and Initial Shock. Managed by the newly formed Soundproof Productions, the run marked the ballroom's re-opening after its closure by city officials the previous month. Notably, the first night included the debut performances of “Dupree's Diamond Blues” and “Doin’ That Rag” and later, the event’s poster, designed by Rick Griffin, would become the album cover for ‘Aoxomoxoa.’
What Me Worry? Ad from the Mile High Underground newspaper for the 11/10/67 show at the Family Dog Denver, featuring the Other Half and the Sons of Champlin...
I will be at BOTH shows this Sunday at the Blue Note in Napa taking in the incredible Sons of Champlin who Rock just as hard and play even better today than they did 50 years ago. Come join me and welcome to the dance! @sonsofchamplin
