I first saw Phil in 1968 at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, the night after Martin Luther King was murdered. There was some not insubstantial civil unrest going on, so the crowd at the show was small and highly partisan -- he was, as noted above, galvanizing and inspiring. I saw and photographed him later that summer at a Gene McCarthy rally at someone's home in, I think, Winnetka, Illinois. Actually chatted with him a bit -- he was relaxed, friendly and very funny.
