Galaxy Club, Los Angeles, CA 1967
AUD > ? > Liberated boot > ? > Trade CDR > EAC > Flac
The setlist is generally made up of songs from Heavy (1968) and would appear to be the correct date given the lack of anything from their second album. There are embryonic versions of Real Fright and Filled With Fear, which, with different lyrics would turn up on Ball (1969). In addition, there are some songs which do not seem to have made it to vinyl at all, making this possibly their only recorded appearance. This one came to me as a possible soundboard, but I think it is in fact a very good (for the era) audience recording. It's pretty clear, but a bit over-saturated at times - vocals are also sometimes not too clear. The audience are very distant, or the club was half empty!!
Whoever taped it also switched off the tape between some songs and no IGDV in sight!!!

1. Real Fright
2. Possession
3. Filled With Fear
4. Fields Of Sun
5. It's Up To You
6. Gloomy Day To Remember
7. Time To Ignore Evil Temptation
8. Have You Heard?
9. General As It May Seem
10. Lonely Boy
11. Iron Butterfly Theme
12. You Can't Win

Note: I posted this on a different forum some time ago. The links are active but I am not taking the time right now to get the original file names and putting them into lix.in form. I hope that these work for you too.

Dave, on the dexondaz blog he has a really nice Iron Butterfly reunion soundboard dated 4/7/88 Tornto. 2 problems:
1. It's mp3
2. His upload is missing the last 4 songs he lists.

It appears that blog may have been abandoned. I wrote a comment 2 weeks ago that hasn't been approved & he hasn't updated the blog at all since 5/14.

Do you have this show?

"Have You Heard" is actually "So-Lo" from the first album, although neither title is mentioned.

I think "Time To Ignore Evil Temptation" was released on a single as "Evil Temptation" but I've never heard it before.

"General As It May Seem" should be "Gentle As It May Seem" also from the first album.

Thanks for this.
The poster before me is right on all 3 of the song title corrections.
Tho only VG quality it is a stereo soundboard tape not audience.
This show is often going around as the Galaxy club in 'North Hollywood' but it was in West Hollywood 2 doors west of the Whisky A-Go-Go.
Iron Butterfly was the house band there for a while in 1967.
