Editing Chet Helms (section)

=== The Family Dog Denver ===
In 1967, Helms and budding rock promotor [[Barry Fey]] agreed to open a Family Dog Productions concert dance hall in Denver, Colorado. They called it [[The Family Dog Denver]], and brought in acts like [[The Doors]], the [[Grateful Dead]], [[Van Morrison]], [[Jefferson Airplane]], [[Buffalo Springfield]], [[Chuck Berry]], and many others. The San Francisco [[Psychedelic art|psychedelic poster]] artists were commissioned by Helms to do posters for the shows. Little has been known about the venue until the 2021 release of the documentary, ''The Tale of the Dog,'' which unearthed the story through interviews with the venue staff, bands, posters artists, attendees and Denver police, detailing the full history and lasting impact of "The Dog" for the first time.<ref>{{Cite web|date=June 8, 2021|title=Hippie History: The Tale of the Dog Chronicles a Denver Rock Landmark|url=https://www.westword.com/music/the-tale-of-the-dog-starts-streaming-june-8-11987552|url-status=live|website=[[Westword]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210608150453/https://www.westword.com/music/the-tale-of-the-dog-starts-streaming-june-8-11987552 |archive-date=June 8, 2021 }}</ref>
