Lale?a, Happiness Runs and possibly Two Lovers are from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour broadcast of 17th November 1968.
Lale?a has the clapping faded in and is four seconds shorter than the collectors' tape version. For these three performances, the record has a more bassier echo than the tape which, although has more hiss and sounds a bit tinny, is of overall better quality.
On the bootleg, Two Lovers appears after Happiness Runs and no obvious edit can be heard. But the tape has Time is on the Run (The Main Thought) immediately after Happiness Runs with no obvious edit either. The video copy that the tape was dubbed from may not be a complete performance, but on the other hand, the original bootlegger may have been messing around with the material too. This may explain why Time is on the Run is inexplicably missing from the bootleg track list.
Atlantis, Giggle in a Bubbly Bath, Angel's Thoughts, Come to me now Joyfully, To Love me and Medley are from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Concert Hour broadcast of 23rd March 1969.
Atlantis has definitely been messed about with. On the bootleg, it is split into the intro, which is not from the Smothers performance, and the actual song ("way down ...") which is from the show. Both parts are mastered too slow and the bootleg prematurely fades out the song, chopping off almost an entire minute. The reason for this is presumably, because the bootlegger didn't want any of the Smothers Brothers introduction on the record and also because (s)he was coming to the end of the first side of the record.
Giggle in a Bubbly Bath is mastered slightly too slow but by the time we get to Angel's Thoughts, it is almost at the right speed. For these performances the tape is again the winner. Although there is significantly more crackle on the tape, the sound `behind' the crackle is of a better fidelity and the performance complete.
Medley has been cut to shreds, leaving all the non-Donovan snippets out and leaving a mess of tiny pieces, mastered too slowly.
Other tracks are from other TV shows, eg. The Andy Williams Show (see the TV/Radio/Film page).
The material on this record has been released several times, under various titles: Donovan '70 [Bash Records], The Reedy River [TMOQ Records - pressed on red vinyl], Live at the Reedy River Junction ???, Donovan [1974 - Joker SM 3730] and Donovan Live - Mellow Yellow (see below).
The music on all of these is the same but some (notably the Joker issue) omit Medley on the first side, along with Natural High is the Best High and Atlantis.
