In late 1978 legendary San Francisco concert producer made a comeback after being out of the music business for many years. Chet Helms put together another "Tribal Stomp" gathering. Here are six of the seven discs or files as it were. As always I have taken the liberty of creating some of my own work for you to feast your mortal eyes on. The second image is the original artwork from the bootleg set. The first posting here features some of San Francisco's poets. The poets were always a big part of the "hippie" movement with some of the folks having had history in the late 50's and early 60's as members of the beat generation.
