The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Stella Blue

Hollywood Bowl

Blown away that after all these years this was the first time i'd heard this. The mere idea of the first Stella being played during the last Pigpen show is dripping with symbolism. The fact that Pig adds a gorgeous organ texture to the song makes this a bonafide treasure. Track this down, spin it, and reminisce in a true transitive moment in the bands illustrious history
