"SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER"

ENCORE THEATER

San Francisco, 1971

*  *  *

            "... Often during the band's set at the Encore Theater or during intermission, off on the side of the stage, we would have a tableau on view, sometimes visible to the audience or sometimes with a little peephole for the viewer to look through. ... One particularly eerie tableau was called “Sweet Hour of Prayer” and the viewer had to poke his head into a little slot and there he came face to face with a bloody killer (Terry MacDonald) with upraised dripping knife about to be plunged for the second time into the bleeding heart of an old lady (Joy Phipps) stabbed while reading her now blood-splattered Bible.  That sort of thing.

          "We have almost no photos from those days, except a single dark image of Terry and Joy which speaks to us still down through the decades."
