It so happens that there are very few live recordings of Spirit in their late 1960s prime, considering how popular they were at the time. This is one of three with excellent sound quality. I've already posted the other two on this blog (Boston Tea Party in 1969 and Fillmore West in 1970). Actually, I had posted this one already as well. But I deleted it months ago, knowing that I would repost it with different artwork and such as part of this festival. So here it finally is again.
Happily, this bootleg comes from a soundboard source. I made some edits to improve the sound. The biggest was boosting the lead vocals relative to the instruments. I think this now sounds better than the version I posted before.
In late 1968, the band released "I've Got a Line on You" as a single. It was their biggest hit, reaching Number 25 on the U.S. singles chart. So it's not surprising that was performed here, near the end of their set. In August 1969, the band released their third studio album, "Clear." Five of the songs here come from that album.
This album is 43 minutes long.

The cover photo is from this exact concert. It shows Jay Ferguson, one of the band's two lead vocalists. I could only find two photos of the band from this concert. The other one showed band members Mark Andes on bass and John Locke on keyboards. Both photos were in black and white. I chose this one mainly because it was a lot easier to colorize (which I did using the Kolorize program).
