July 11th, 1971 - 'The Ballad Of Dwight Frye' at Long Beach, California

It's almost impossible to believe now, but in the early days of the band, a girl would be chosen from the audience to get dressed as a nurse. She would then lead Alice off stage at the end of a song, returning shortly afterwards when he was in the straight jacket for '...Dwight Frye'. Later, it got more organised when Cindy Smith Dunaway (Neal's sister and Dennis' wife) became the nurse. Nowadays, the part is more likely to be played by Cheryl Cooper (although Calico and Tiffany Lowe has been the nurse on recent tours)



Apparently, in the audience for this concert was a young 15 year old male, who was called Randy Rhodes. He has said this was the moment he decided to become a guitarist
