Nice to know you're still around!

Ah, happy times! The copy you did me also has the Glass House tracks and the 2nd La Cave WGO... Of course, we both had different names in those days

I know where you live.
Are you're mentioning those tracks to wind people up?
If anyone doesn't know: the Glass House tracks are tiny snippets of amazing sounding versions of IWFTM and Venus, from a film about Merce Cunningham.
The 2nd La Cave WGO = a much faster version of the song included on a 10th generation cassette I had of the Oct 68 La Cave show. It would be great, if you could actually hear it. It's the bottom of the barrel.

who was that masked person?????


That'll be this one:

"October 26, 1968"

Tape: aud, B-, 7 mins. Once again this is a misdated recording (the VU were at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles on this date). The complete tape is listed in WGO 1+2, 55 mins, B, with the same tracklist as on the "2/10/68" tape. My guess is that version could actually be from October 4 late show.

What Goes On (5:45)

I have it, sound quality not great, but don't remember it being unlistenable, but then again my standards in most things are low.

oh bugger.

Moving swiftly on. That WGO is unnaturally fast! If you slow it down so that Lou's voice roughly matches the pitch of the PSAS WGO, and then boost the top end a bit, it sounds much more realistic. Lots of hiss though!
