The Great Society live shows

[fat-old-sun]

After dozens of Jefferson Airplane albums and bootlegs, I eventually turned to the Great Society and Collecter's Item to hear Grace pre-Airplane. I am wondering, though, is this the only recording of the Great Society in circulation? The usual bootleg trading sites - dime, tradersden etc. - they don't have much JA, never mind the Great Society and any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, and welcome to the forum!

There are two CDs that I know about from The Great Society. Both of which are a must have.

First, Live at the Matrix, which I think is the Collector's Item you referred to, which was released with the names Conspicuous Only in its Absence and How It Was. Both are included in this CD:

The other CD available is Born to Be Burned, which includes the singles Free Advice and Someone To Love, in addition to 15 previously unissued tracks:

These are the only available releases from The Great Society. But there is a song called Bulldog Blues played at The Matrix, but was not released on the album. Thanks to Craig Fenton, it is on YouTube.

Fantastic! Thanks for the welcomes and the info.

It's slightly frustrating that when TGS were playing it was when people just began to record shows from the audience so I would assume there are very few. But thanks for the Born to be Burned link - I haven't seen that before.

I said GODDAMN!!!

Did Grace EVER look hotter and sexier than in those early photos!?!?!?!

She STILL looks great-- Don't get me wrong--

But when I see those young pictures, well... What can I say-- My "nature" begin to RISE!!!
