Comments:

Touring versions from Foggy G's We're Only In It For The Touring:

1968
This track from the "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" album comes from the Miami show in March. At the tail end of this show's "Big Medley", the jam evolves through several different musical styles, before developing into the portion of live music released under the title "Toads of the Short Forest". The improvisation continues after the officially released portion ends, and eventually slides into an unknown Dixieland-esque instrumental.
