NoteThese are recordings from the heyday of Underground Radio in San
Francisco. This set includes 82(I only found 81) tracks on 6 CDs (most are 80 minute
CDs), featuring many live performances, primarily produced and
broadcast by radio station KSAN FM. Many of the most popular (and a
few lesser known) musicians are represented during the key three
years
when Bay Area psychadelic music was peaking; from 1966 to 1968. The
majority of these recordings came from the Avalon Ballroom and the
Fillmore Auditorium, where KSAN often recorded sets and created
production reels for local FM transmission. Since the production
reels
primarily featured edited highlights, theres a consistantly high
caliber of performances documented here.

This collection is not, I repeat not, a duplication of the excellent
"San Franciscan Nights" compilation. Duplicating that material was,
as
much as possible, intentionally avoided. However, there are some
exceptions. 9 of the 82 tracks in this collection were also included
on the SFN compilation. These 9 tracks were repeated here because
they
were either in different or more complete form, as per KSAN
production
reels, and/or were of improved quality. Here are those details:

CD#2: COUNTRY JOE & THE FISH:
Thought Dream (now part of an expanded Avalon set)

CD#4: CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND
Old Folks Boogie (now part of expanded Avalon set was mistitled on
SFN as "Woe Is Uh Me Bop")

CD#4: BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY
Bye Bye Baby, Women Is Losers, Call On Me, Ball & Chain (1st 3 are
Avalon 67, not 68 as notated on SFN. Upgraded.)

CD#5: CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
Suzy Q (Upgraded)

CD#5 SANTANA
Treat>drums>Jingo (Upgraded. These were the two Santana tracks not
listed on the SFN tracklists.)

Other than those 9 exceptions, the 82 tracks on these CDs are all
different recordings than "San Franciscan Nights"

Theres a surprisingly strong continuity when listening to all these
bands together. The only set questioned was the Bo Diddley set. It
was decided to include this because unlike many/most of his
contemporaries, he wasn't just regurgitating his hits by the
mid1960s. Check out the spacey modal jamming on "Eastern Thang," and
the approach of his band and you'll hear how well it fits. (He even
has an electric violinist on this 1966 Avalon Ballroom set! If anyone
knows or has recollections who backed him around this time, we'd all
enjoy hearing about it.)

Although the majority of these recordings came from KSAN production
reels, several related nonKSAN recordings are also included.

Thanks to Harvey Lubar and the distribution people of San Franciscan
Nights. All the people that helped spread that collection around for
free directly inspired the start of this project.
