My 60's band often opened for the Fish. In fact at the 1967 New Year's concert at the Eagles Auditorium most people left after we played the opening set and there was hardly any crowd for the Fish. That led them into insisting we never open for them again. :-D
By then they had become far removed from their earlier psychedelic roots and the crowd was more into what we were doing than a rock band that was playing baseball on stage. Country Joe McDonald is still around and writing music. I saw him perform back in 2006 at a protest in Walnut Creek. He has some new songs about Iraq but the crowd pleaser was still "1-2-3 what are we fighting for."
