Unique Songs Several of these songs were never recorded in the studio by Blood, Sweat & Tears: “Just One Smile” and “I Love You More that artist/group, thus making them very rare. To be fair, some Than You’ll Ever Know” (these songs were done by the original of the songs were “concert favorites” and performed only live BS&T group, with on vocals) (like “Stormy Monday,” “Raise Your Hand” and “Summertime ”). Some may have recorded studio/demo versions, but Crosby, Stills & Nash & Young: “Blackbird”; “Mr Soul”; were not released until the CD Box era. “Wonderin’”; “Bluebird Revisited” and “Sea Of Madness” (Stills recorded “Bluebird Revisited” for his 2nd solo album.

Country Joe McDonald: “I Seen A Rocket” (promo 45 only) You probably won’t agree, but that’s OK, it’s just an idea. Santana: “Fried Neck Bones And Some Home Fries” First, move The Incredible String Band back to Friday, after Band: “Spanish Fly” and “She’s Gone” Ravi, where they where they were supposed to be (refused to play in the rain). They are totally out of place between a horny The Incredible String Band: “Gather ’Round” British blues band and America’s premier boogie band. : “A Change Is Gonna Come>Leaving This Town” To “fix” the less-than-stellar Dead set, use these tracks instead. Mountain: “Stormy Monday” and “Waiting To Take You Away”. Tried to pick the songs they played hrtr, based on concerts in “Beside The Sea” was done by ’s first group, that time frame. I’m not an expert-level deadhead—just picked (and co-written by Bert Sommer). The song “Who Am I But You these as feeling right. There were several Dead concerts around And The Sun” was subsequently renamed “For Yasgur’s Farm” and the time of Woodstock (The Pavilion at Flushing Meadow Park recorded for Climbing, their first album. on July 11 or Pelletier Farm, Saint Helens, from Aug 22) that would fit perfectly.
