"Forever Changes" Box Set - What's The 13 Minute Hidden Track?

Jun 02, 2011, 17:12

When the Elektra box set came out there was also a sampler called "Selections From Forever Changing The Golden Age Of Elektra Records 1963-1973" which had an uncredited (at least uncredited on the disc I have) 13 minute 14 seconds bonus track. It's a fairly jaunty sounding west coast instrumental with a big Dead influence though the bass and drums are a bit four-square for the Dead. In fact the bass might be organ pedals. Any ideas? One of the guitar player could be Robbie Krieger but its not The Doors and there is sax on it.

Any ideas?

I have the box but on looking at the track times nothing matches, nothing near 13 mins at all. Is the whole instrumental track 13 mins or is that including some silence?

Could be the same band but this tune is more like a delatinated version of early Santana or the Dead circa 1970. The lead guitarist could be Krieger or maybe Cipolina. That style. There is a harmonica solo and some sax. I don't have the main box so I don't know if it is on that but this track is deffo 13 minutes and is tagged on the end of the sampler.

No idea why anyone would put a 13 minute track as a hidden bonus on a sampler when it is available on a regular album in any case. Maybe it was something they wanted on the box but there was no room. Really nice modal jam though I am not a big Bloomfield fan.
