This was Bear's going away party. The SBD tape in circulation cuts in during China Cat Sunflower. Janis Joplin enters to cheers before  Lovelight with "whadda you know that I know?" eliciting ribaldries from  several bandmembers (not the last). The only word for Janis & Pigpen's vocals on this tune is orgiastic. DeadBase IX lists Lovelight; Me & My Uncle; Cold Rain & Snow before China Cat Sunflower, and a second electric  set ; Casey Jones; Attics Of My Life; Cumberland Blues; Not Fade Away  ; St. Stephen; Uncle John's Band. It seems probable that there's more of this in the vault. NRPS and Rubber Duck Company were also on the bill (DeadBase  IX).
