...at the "Rock Against Reagan" show on the front lawn of the US Federal Building in Westwood CA.

My band, The Hundredth Monkey, also played that show.

I was up on the "stage" right behind George.

This event was a part of the east coast Yippies! Rock Against Reagan tour, which toured throughout the US at that time.
