re: Worst Musical Pairings in History

miles was getting tired of jazz clubs and wanted to play rock venues (slightly bigger crowds, different vibe, etc). Bill graham booked him at his SF venues for several shows, and the dead specifically requested to be on a bill with miles as they were fans

as the story is told the dead were pretty sheepish when they found out miles was opening for them instead of the other way around. Miles was in his sketches of Spain/bitches brew phase at the time
