Who Do You Love?
This classic, but fairly hard to find recording goes under several different dates in 1968 and locations. Most dates seem to go in Feb. 1968, and I think that's probably a good spot for it. Locations vary from Carousel Ballroom to Matrix to somewhere in San Jose and "Murray's Last Show", of which I will explain below.

Notes:
- It is assumed that Cipollina's reels are masters, but there might be subsequent reel generations.
This material sounds very nice.
- What a pleasure it is to hear this stuff, especially everything from the middle of disc one ("Guitar Suites") on!
There is just some wonderful music here and also some wonderful insight into the music that would end up on "Happy Trails",
most notably Calvary.
- (1) "why don't you come in here and smoke a joint"
- What is included here as disc three is from reel/item #295. It is noted as part 2 of this date's rehearsals.
The notations on the tape box, presumably Cipollina's, are as follows:
Day Song #2 (Take 5) Con't from Tape 1
F# Instrumental (Takes 2,3,4,5)
Stand By Me (Several Attempts - a couple complete & real good)
