Festivals were starting to become well established in the US and the Texas Pop Festival offered a substantial bill of performing artists. Led Zeppelin played a good set on this day.

I watched Sam & Dave perform and hung out with Janis Joplin, whom I had hung out with at Steve Paul’s Scene Club in New York in the Yardbirds days. Around this time, I also bumped into Nico at the same club, when she was with the Velvet Underground, and it was interesting to see her within that context because it suited her much better. The Velvet Underground had a profound effect on me.
