I saw Hot Tuna at the Fillmore East in January of 1971.
I was in the sixth grade and my big brother took me at my request.
I remember shows at the Academy of Music in NYC when it would be daylight when the show ended.
I was at the Capital Theater in Passaic NJ front and center for an all acoustic show in the mid seventies, Jorma and Jack sat down through the whole show and Jack's hollow-body Guild Starfire bass was the star of the show. I could be wrong but I believe it was I who started the phrase "Jack Attack" in relation to his incredible solos.
I snuck on stage and smoked a joint with Jack and Jorma's wife, Margret, the artist of the first two album covers, while Jorma performed alone with just an acoustic guitar. Someone had dosed his soda can with acid it showed in his unique performance.
Jorma taught me how to play "Been So Long" backstage at the Trenton War Memorial show while Jack just let loose alone in the corner.
I could write a book.
