Disk 5 (16 Aug 1969 - Santa Barbara) has a very short version (1:39) of
"Sunshine of Your Love". As poor as the quality is, it does sound as though
this is a rare performance by Blind Faith and Delaney, Bonnie & Friends on
this song. (This may well be the case on 20 Aug 1969 as well [Disc 6], but
that recording is probably rated AUD 1 - there are however wails that I
doubt would have come from Winwood and a clutter of instruments.)



Another interesting observation from the Santa Barbara concert poster is
that the event is listed as "Blind Faith Festival" and apart from D&B and
Free, at the bottom of the poster (in small print), you'll see other bands
named: Additional groups: Zephyr, Fields, and Rabbit McKay and the Somis
Rhythm Band.



Aside from that, Ginger Baker was amazing on "Do What You Like" on 26 Aug
1969.
