Recorded on May 18, 1966 at St. Lawrence University,
this illuminating document represents the full 70-minute
set including an introduction by ESP alum Burton
Greene. In addition, Anderson has uncovered a partial
second set from the same evening and some rare
rehearsal footage recorded during a sound check before
the concert. With over 90 minutes of additional material,
this two-disc set allows a close-up look at the band s
repertoire and sound over an entire evening, including
the rarely performed State Street and alternate
versions of Theme of The Stargazers and The Second
Stop Is Jupiter. Remasted from the original tapes and
presented in superb quality, College Tour Vol. 1 is a vivid
snapshot of the mid-sixties Ra and his intergalactic band.
