Hal's "Death by Jefferson Airplane Bootlegs" (CD 2 of 5)

In honor of the chocolate dessert:

Ok, as I said before, I'll have to change the text file details for #1 again, and
maybe for here too; at the moment just treat the following with a big grain of salt,
and for CD 5 I'll put out the "final, verified" text version. In the meantime enjoy the
music: I was 12 years old when these happened, but, three or four years later,
when I heard the studio versions for the first time, it opened worlds I had
never thought of, and promised new worlds to come. Even today I hear this
and feel young again. . . .

CD 2

Ronald Reagan's reaction to the new "scene"
Get Together

Feb. 4, 1967 -- classic speech by a young governor as well as a classic
song by Dino Valenti. How could I improve upon the venerable "San
Franciscan Nights 1"? I did choose "Get Together" as appropriate
for following the -- in retrospect, very humuorous! -- RR's speech.

Come Back Baby
Leave Me Alone

March 10 and 12, 1967 (Winterland). A new booking agent had the hot
new band touring, and "Come Back Baby," if compared with the jams of 1966,
indicates the future emergence of Hot Tuna; "Leave Me Alone" shows how
Marty could have easily been a part of that.

Saturday Afternoon / Won't You Try

May 19, 1967 -- first live appearance of this song; it would later be reworked
in the studio sessions that follow.

--

Saturday Afternoon / Won't You Try
Martha

Oct. 2-5 (?), 1967 -- rehearsals for recording AFTER BATHING AT BAXTER'S. Very
haunting "Martha" jam with Grace on recorder and keyboards.

--

Young Girl Sunday Blues
Two Heads
Share a Little Joke

Feb. 1, 1968 -- all first appearances in concert, at least in my sources of tape.

Star Track
Greasy Heart
Fat Angel

May 17-18, 1968. Rare live performance of Jorma's contribution to a new album in the
making, CROWN OF CREATION. Then Grace's classic "Greasy Heart" on the next day.
The "Fat Angel" on that same last day shows that the improvisatory nature of the band was
changing for the better, and is one of my favorite versions. . . .
