december 3rd 1965, in sacramento.
he used his guitar to swing the mic into position and found out the hard way that it wasn't grounded.
Keith's first words on coming round were reported as: "Did I finish the show?"
yeah you did, baby! :E
apparently the guy who was head electrician at the venue at the time still gives guided tours of the spot where it happened.
and it was apparently just a few days after that that Keith took acid for the first time.
very electric week on Planet Keith. :E
