  2. Such a kick to hear these, N.A.! Here are some song IDs/corrections:

    PRESS CLUB:
    Song #1: "Hair"

    CSU LONG BEACH:
    Song #1: Just an improv. intro to "Beak"
    Song #4: "Amphibious"
    Song #5: Mislabeled "Amphibious," this is "Be As We," a separate coda to that song we played only a few times
    Song #6: "Sammy" (about a Third Reich–obsessed developmentally disabled person we knew at CSUN)
    Song #7: "Hair"

    KPFK:
    Song #1: "Hair"
    Song #3 (mislabeled as “Can’t”): “Drab”
    Song #6 ID: Jeffrey Vallance introducing “Be As We”

    Thanks for posting,
