First off- THANKS ALOT for posting this. I took the bait, clicked on the article, and from there started clicking on archived articles by the journalist (didn't know Rolling Stone's digital archives go so far back and are free to read).

The Sly interview is from 1970 and was done on the night that they recorded the Music Scene performance. Sorry, but I really geek out on this kinda stuff. Lots of good "in-the-moment" stuff to click through with this.
