- ZEPHYR Live at The Denver Pop Festival! 🔥🔥🔥 Here is the evidence as to why all the musicians Tommy Bolin ran across before he turned 18 went GAGA over him and Zephyr! This is a pretty great recording of the Denver Pop Festival - June 1969. Where the Denver police fired teargas outside that wafted down and you can hear that on this recording. Candy did an epic job of calming the crowd, and Barry Fey never gave her public acknowledgment of that. Also Chip Monk was the stage announcer then and he had already been hired to be doing that in two months at Woodstock. He was blown away by Zephyr and offered to get them a place on the Woodstock bill. Barry blocked that yet he want himself. 
This was Barry Fey’s first BIG statement as a concert promoter in Denver and he went on to ruthlessly dominate the Denver market well into the 80’s. Tommy had glommed onto him as soon as he arrived in Denver in 1967, when Barry had just opened the Family Dog with Chet Helms basically beginning his career as a concert promoter.
Tommy was desperately eager to become THE STAR his dad had bluntly insisted he had to become. In business Tommy was clueless as was his father. Rich’s entire working life was toiling at slauterhouses in Sioux City. It was traumatizing work. Thus he demanded his sons would never work in the slaughterhouses and had to go into music. “You can’t do anything else” he would bellow. Barry had a similar gruff angry personality so that felt familiar to Tommy. So Tommy had much to do with Barry becoming a manager which he was not suited to be. His picking Barry cost him his life.

I saw them as an opening act at the Fillmore East when I was a teen. Their version of St. James was so striking that I remember it to this day. Good group.
a historical piece....amazing to know that they shared the stage with hendrix that day. very exciting.
Brilliant! What a pity Barry "Hot Shot" Fey got his evil greedy hands on this impeccable group of musicians.
Wonderful document !
Cool stuff
You have great taste in music Rick Smith and your comments are always that of a person who has got it together. Right On Man!! God bless you.
