Another Polka time announcement starts the song, Bobby has a little extra growl to his voice, real nice backing from Brent on this one.

emotionally powerful, great take on the tale of August West . Love the starkness of this version and the way they build the intensity as the song prog

Love the way it comes out of Dark Star roaring little Jam after the first verse.

This is sizzling fast, bobby sounds a little spaced. Very intense early amphetamine style. sounds like a 1966 tape it is so fast. not yet morphed totally into the psychedelic monster they would soon be.

Typical fast 1967 Pace, swiriling Organ, raw powerful guitar from Bobby and Jerry. Thumping Bass lines and nice drum rolls. A cool early version.

We space Ni@@ers greet you is said into the microphone before this version. Rather odd moment. Followed by some terrible jokes from bobby.
