Janis Joplin -Cry Baby  42

Stephen Stills -Marianne  42
Stephen Stills - Change Partners  43

Kinks - Apeman  45
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man  48
Chicago - I'm A Man   49

James Gang - Walk Away  51
Steppenwolf - Ride With Me  52
Jimi Hendrix - Freedom  59

Steppenwolf - Snow Blind Friend  60
Tommy James & The Shondells-Church Street Soul Revival  62
Grateful Dead - Truckin'  64
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Some Of Shelly's Blues  64
Poco - C'mon  69

Band - Life Is A Carnival  72
