A taper friend of mine gave me this: first-gen. SBD or AUD, who cares, it was from a friend!

I will NOT break up this superbly free-flowing acidic little night into individual units. How degrading.

A nice example of the club live music scene in San Francisco when hippies were out of fashion but still truckin'. This lineup had not yet been called "Fish n' Chip" but would go through that name and eventually morph as the Dinosaurs with the addition of Merle Saunders on keyboards. A live album at the newly-reopened Fillmore was recorded before John Cipollina's sad death from asthma.

But enjoy, "smile at Spencer, he's on his first acid trip," and repeat after them: "Life is a bucket full of shit. . . ."
