Grateful Dead Mardi Gras, I think it was 1991 at Oakland.

Bill Graham had just died, and Ken Kesey came up on stage during a long Dark Star jam and told a story about Graham putting up a sign on an Oregon trail where Kesey's son died, that Bill was the crossing guard and babysitter for the Psychedelic Revolution, and then recited this poem from memory. (I was tripping and it hit me like a ton of bricks...)
