The Great Society With Grace Slick - Conspicuous In It's Absence: Live At The Matrix, San Francisco (the complete title on the LP cover.)
The Conspicuous Only by its Absence set is only half of the gig. At least on vinyl, the rest was released separately as How It Was.
On cd it came out as Live At the Matrix & also as Collector's Edition.
Complete set ends with a 6 minute instrumental called Father.
But I think the most memorable stuff is in the first half. Arbitration, Sally Go round The Roses & the bands takes on the material later popularised by the airplane. Though 2nd disc has some pretty dark pop stuff on which is great
there is another set entirely that must be in some level of circulation that I got from somebody on a Yahoo list. Not sure if San Francisco Nights' GS set is different still.
Band to me are as memorable at least for the raga guitar of Darby slick as the keening vocals of Grace.
