VH1 recently played a JA concert clip that I'm sure is famous, but I had never heard about it... Slick is very very drunk, and starts taunting the audience: "Whooo woonnn the waaaaarrr....."

I recently got into "Takes Off" (the one I slept on) -- it's KICK ASS. I thought it would be good but sorta generic folk rock (there's a touch of that, like in their version of Dino Valenti's "Get Together"), but it's really this dynamite debut rock album! The original (Balin et al.) songs are terrific... I love the swaggering, self-actualized-rock-guy attitude. A must-hear is "Come Up the Years" - a hilarious tale of hipster chutzpah, embellished with cute bells that mock the narrator's pain (Google the lyrics for Marty & Paul's sad plight!).

I love these guys 90% of the time, but I went to listen to a concert of theirs at Wolfgang's Vault and thought it was the most horriblest shit in the world. I like them a lot better in the studio than live.

mebbe so but i recently (finally) watched monterey pop, and they're great in that.

"Volunteers" is a great song and great album.
And I'm not normally into West Coast hippie stuff. JA always seem to take several listens before they yield anything of value. But the value is definitely there.

i love volunteers
SO FUCKING MUCH
at first i thought it could never compare to Crown of Creation -- too modernized and different -- but the piano, textures and melodies are FUCKING AMAZING. dammit what is that one song? number 4 i think? i always forget the name, where she goes
"how many [something something] before you
stop your believing?
and the [something something] down on you..."
i swear, that is one of the most beautiful bits of songwriting ever. it's so rallying.

and BTW morris Takes Off, i don't think i've ever heard but have you heard Early Flight? so good! Mexico is a killer song.

"Hey Frederick"?
I dunno, there's loads I love on this album - "We Can Be Together", "Good Shepherd", "Turn My Life Down", "Eskimo Blue Day".....
It's a very emotional non-BS album. It's got a feeling of persecution about it - that these people are standing for a political vision that's about to be erased. So the fervour is tinged (and oddly heightened) by the first murmurs of defeatism.
Is "Early Flight" a comp.?
