Mansion On A Hill

Setlist:

1. Jeff's Boogie Jam

This is a weird one. It came as filler on a trade marked "James Gang - Kent State - WMMS - '68". It appears to be a live in the studio recording. Of course, WMMS-FM was in Cleveland, and Kent State wasn't (but close), so maybe the connection is that the band were students at Kent State, and the tape was taken to WMMS-FM to be broadcast? WMMS-FM started up circa October 1968, so it likely has to be after that. Walsh's guitar is way up in the mix, and Fox's drums are a bit buried, but for the era it sounds pretty good. I'm calling this "Jeff's Boogie Jam" as that's the basic theme for most of it, but there's countless BEATLES, YARDBIRDS and many other riffs present here. Lots of wah-wah and echoplex, especially towards the end. If anybody knows more details about this session, and whether there was more of it, please leave that information in the comments section for everybody's benefit. Enjoy.

Casual

Much the same song as Can I Be The One, this time with different lyrics and driving electronic pulse, as you might not call it. Lyrics about wearing a darkening relationship lightly.
