BUT:

The tracks under “5)” have not been recorded in 1969 but on January 21, 1973 at the Cowtown Palace, Kansas City. It’s from a February 1973 radio broadcast.

After "Lover Of The Bayou", there's an unlisted "Jesus Is Just Alright" (it's from the same Lee Jeans Rock Concert radio broadcast).

The two tracks from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival listed on the back cover don't appear on the LP.
