I would like to dedicate this song, to Bill Graham, because he IS the velvet underground, he started us all...Its called Landslide.

I can still remember her saying this, 25 years later. And she praised Bill Graham at her RAL show because he had just open the Shoreline Amphitheater. Graham also introduced her at her WH Oakland show and the SF Chronicle review said it was because she came on so late that he felt he needed to apologize to the fans directly.
When I was about 16, I wrote to Bill Graham and complained about high ticket prices (they were probably $15 or something). He wrote a personal note and send me a gift certificate for tix.
