Big, big fan. Just bought Sugar Mountain Live from University of Michigan, around 1968, after Buf. Spring. break up. It is really terrific. His banter with the crowd and storytelling makes his sound like such a down to earth likeable guy. I have heard that he could be a major pain in the ass to his bandmates.

Silver and Gold is also a often overlooked very good NY album.

I wrote him a letter when I was diagnosed with cancer. Never heard back. Never did anything like that before and who knows if it ever got to him.

take care,
