00:33The songs that Gypsy played, man, these were songs.
00:37These brothers, man, taking your ass on some kind of journey when you put, dropped that
00:42needle down.
01:06Every night, it was a bizarro world.
01:09We used to open up these huge bay windows on the dressing room up at the Whiskey, and there
01:14were people.
01:15It went for miles.
01:16Clubs going on and people walking.
01:19Everybody on the street hawking their words.
01:21Downers, uppers, uppers, downers, acid.
01:23Got to watch here.
01:27LaBianca was living right behind us.
01:28Fortunately, we were playing at Gazzari's.
01:31Little did we know anything was going on, but we knew the next day something was going
01:36on.
01:36Someone let him in.
01:37I was still sleeping.
01:38We were totally suspect in our house full of hippies.
01:42The following morning, they ran through this house and that house like crazy.
01:47FBI woke me up.
01:49I'm in bed, naked, rousted me right out.
01:52Asked everybody what we were doing the night before.
01:55Half of us couldn't remember.
01:56Man, after that, just this dark cloud came over.
01:59And hippies were just scum.

02:06Back in the day, Gypsy was in St. Louis a lot.
02:16Gypsy became an in-house hit with all the disc jockeys at Casey very quickly.
02:23Because it spoke to the very core of what Casey Radio was about.
02:26We were all very excited about this new renaissance of music.
02:30New musicians who weren't afraid to try things.
02:33I think that the younger generation that's listening to the jam bands today, if they heard
02:40Gypsy, would be blown away by it.
02:42Can you turn flesh to go home?
02:49In 77, I get a call from Rico and ask me if I want to go back to St. Louis
02:54and play a date.
02:56Huge demand for us to come out there and do it.
02:58Damned if we didn't play the big Busch Stadium, I had no idea that it was going to be that
03:04big of a show.
03:04People had banners and people were hanging around the hotel and people were in tears.
03:10And that was the last Gypsy gig that we'd done with Rico.
03:15People love Gypsy. Nothing sounds like that.
03:18All right!
03:20Thank you, St. Louis!
03:55Thank you, St. Louis.
