Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

Deep Elem Blues
Dec. 28, 1970
Legion Stadium
Far-out funkfest from the too-short era when this was in rotation as an electric sexathon. Makes me think that Deep Elem is the godfather to Loose Lucy. Listen here and tell me it ain't the case.

Damn right Cucamonga007. Check out April 15, '70 for openers: It's up there at the top of this list. I stand by what I said, they opened with this when they knew they meant bizzness.... Cool version this: Funky butt from Phil, with sweet country harmonies.

Legion Stadium
Peak era for CR&S and this one doesn't disappoint. A wee bit slower than others from the time, but they were clearly working on it as a showpiece. I remember seeing them open shows with this and thinking, "ahhh, they mean it tonight...".
Turn On Your Love Light
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium
Short by standards of the time, clocking in at just over 12 minutes, but full of TNT and barks and yodels, as described. Caps off an uneven show with a good powerful blast.
Brokedown Palace
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium
Starts a little rough on the vocals, but comes together right quick and sails away on beautiful harmonies.
