Következzék egy leszedhető kalózfelvétel 1968-ból, aminek az érdekesége, hogy a nyitó Uncle Meat az Ahead of Their Time lemezen prezentált koncertről származik, de arról valamiért lemaradt.
Külön érdekes ennek a darabnak a verkliszerű, hangonként előadott spéci változata.
Keverőpultos felvétel:
- Uncle Meat (One Note at a Time) / Son of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask / Oh, in the Sky (08:19)
- The Big Medley: Let's Make the Water Turn Black / Harry, You're a Beast / Oh No / The Orange County Lumber Truck / King Kong (17:03) [largely officially released on Ahead of Their Time]
- Bacon Fat (04:20) [Andre Williams / Brown]
- The String Quartet (First Part) (13:36)
- The Wild Man Fischer Story [Fischer]
- I'm the Meany [Fischer]
- The String Quartet (09:47) [listed as "Let's Make the Water Turn Black"]
- [?] [listed as "Uncle Bernie's Farm"]
Tracks 1-2 are live in London 1968. "Oh, in the Sky" is Roy Estrada singing a Ruben-esque tune. Track 2 has been officially released as tracks 16-20 of Ahead of Their Time, though there are some edits on the official album.
Tracks 3-6 are as on Our Man in Nirvana (Fullerton, 11-Aug-1968).
Tracks 7-8 are identified as live in Bremen 1968. They are listed as "Let's Make the Water Turn Black" and "Uncle Bernie's Farm" but do not actually represent these songs. Track 7 is the "String Quartet" (the instrumental medley of "Pound for a Brown" and "Sleeping in a Jar" with jamming), and track 8 is an "extremely slow instrumental". If they are indeed from Bremen, they are from the show that was televised in Germany as Lieder Liches.
