Chip Monck has quite a story to tell. The lighting designer for Monterey Pop in 1967 and Woodstock two years later, he emceed the latter and was responsible for what might be rock's most infamous onstage warning: "The brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good."
Five years later, he got a job hosting Speakeasy. This music discussion show, produced by advertising agency J Walter Thompson, was shown in over 100 markets and played host to a stellar list of guests, including Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Bill Wyman, Dr John, Peter Gabriel, Alvin Lee, Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, John McLaughlin, Dave Mason, Jackson Browne, Steve Miller, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Waits and Frank Zappa.
