TEN YEARS AFTER
San Francisco, Fillmore Auditorium
JUNE 28, 1968

Nota bene:
a) NOT taken from the ubiquitous bootleg CD. This version here is more complete, pitch corrected, of superior quality - and now even freshly transferred from my cassette tape.

b) This is a fresh October 2018 cassette-to-digital transfer and superior to my November 2009 Dimeadozen torrent.

c) Cover artwork taken from above mentioned early 90’s bootleg CD which in turn was redesigned from the original Bill Graham Presents poster.

Updated liner notes from my original Nov. 27, 2009 torrent over at Dime:

Info on the recording:
Here's another of my all-time fave TYA shows, and hopefully - and most likely - an upgrade to what most fans have. I got my source tape in a trade sometime in the late 90's from my personal low generation god Larry „Florida Kid“ Clark - thanx again for this, Larry!

I‘ve always liked this show a big lot for its wealth of early and rarely played tracks, and therefore torrented it on Dime in November 2009. Just recently I listened to it again, scanned the files to see if my 2009 transfer was really ideal – and look here - found out that a large part of the stereo right channel in particular was deep „in the red“, i.e. oversaturated. Ugh! I therefore did a fresh transfer with new equipment (my Olympus LS-P2 recorder) and edited it as thoroughly as any possible with Audacity. So, even for those who may have my previous torrent should get at least a slight upgrade – plus three bonus tracks, haha!

Info on the show:
TYA arrived in the US on June 13, 1968 to start off on a seven-week stateside tour, their first of not less than reputedly 28(!) campaigns up until their farewell tour in 1975. They had recorded their May 14, 1968 Klook's Kleek Railway Hotel show and would release parts of it in August as their second album "Undead" in order to have a fresh product to promote during their debut tour. Mind that even nowaydays tour promoters usually demand a new album to tour behind.

This show here is one of their very first dates, and their first at Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium. As it turned out, this was to be the last weekend of the original Fillmore before Bill moved his venue to the much larger Carousel Ballroom the next weekend (at which TYA also played), now renamed Fillmore West; since Bill had opened his Fillmore East in NYC in March 1968, that renaming had become necessary.

TYA's set differs nicely from the set you get to hear on the „UNDEAD“ album: the band deliver the - AFAIK - only known recorded live rendition of "I WANT TO KNOW" from their first album plus the almost equally rarely played traditional version of "I WOKE UP THIS MORNING" (i.e. not the heavy "Sssssh!" variation). *Exactly* these two numbers were left off the floating-around 90’s bootleg CD that was made from a higher gen. copy of this tape. Funnily BTW, Wolfgang's (Vault) streams the audio off that CD although one would imagine they should have access to better and more complete versions in their ...well, vaults.

Just as that boot CD, my source tape starts off with "HELP Me" which is of course nonsense and I put at the end of the set where it definitely belongs. This had been their closing number until they developed I'M GOING HOME as their anthem and show stopper around the time of the „UNDEAD“ Klooks Kleek show. At that point in their career, ROCK YOUR MAMA was the standard opener and proposed next single (which was shelved in the UK). It seems someone earlier in the copy line placed „HELP ME“ at the start of a C 90 cassette tape to fit the show on the two sides. It is safe to assume TYA also did „I'M GOING HOME“ to end their show but their closer is missing from both my tape and the boot CD.

It is real nice to hear TYA doing such a variety of then still fresh numbers many of which would disappear from their set for good soon after.

BTW, this show can’t be uploaded to Dimeadozen because as a show that Wolfgang’s (Vault) streams, albeit only in the inferior and shorter form of the old bootleg CD, it would violate the rules & regulations over there – hence my very first upload to TTD! Good, eh? :-)

The Danish TV bonus show is interesting in its own right, BTW as it contains „LOVE UNTIL I DIE“ from the band’s debut LP, another only known live version.

And now, enjoy all the more: early, raunchy, jazzy, bluesy, rocking & jamming TYA!
