His face scrunched up.Ībsurd was not a word that was used in the Grateful Dead camp. People will think, ‘Why are there two identical organs onstage? Why doesn’t the guy from the Doors play the one that’s already there? Why did he have to bring up a duplicate organ?’ You see, man, it’s absurd.” Wrong word. I play on the same side of the stage, just like you.” “So…?” “Then there’ll be two Vox organs on stage. “If I have to bring my organ up, I’ll have to set it up right in front of yours.

In other words, it’s a typical Grateful Dead song/jam. Vocals are out of harmony, guitars are tuned to some arcane, eccentric mode that each musician has kept as his own private secret, not telling the fellow next to him what the mode is, and the rhythm section is at cross purposes with each other, laying down what seems to be two separate and distinct rock beats that have no relation to each other. They noodle, they fool around, they play out of tune, they try to tune up…but fail…and finally play a song. They have a sound check in the afternoon and it takes forever. And…a Vox Continental Organ! Just like mine. It dwarfs any human standing in front of it. It’s like the wall in Fritz Lang’s Destiny. The Dead are the headliners (it’s early ’67).
