In addition to the bouzouki, Fred also enjoyed alternate tuning, maybe a "drop D", but I got know skills, just memory for what my dad, Buzzy Linhart, told me about his mentor. Sandy Bull taught my dad the drop D. Fred hired Buzz to play vibes as his first paying gigs in folk-rock.
This would be a live studio jam for sure! Man, sounds so much like Buzz... if you dig this, you'd like "Sing Joy", give it a listen some time.
Fred used to tag extended jams like this onto the 'end' of songs sometimes... usually on 6-string (when I heard him, 62-63) when he was living around Miami. It had a kind of sitar sound, but the rhythms always felt more like Middle eastern, or Arabic. ^..^
* Fred Neil - acoustic guitar, electric, vocals, finger snapping * Pete Childs - electric guitar, acoustic guitar * John T. Forsha - acoustic guitar, 12-string guitar * Cyrus Faryar - acoustic guitar, bouzouki * Rusty Faryar - finger cymbals * Jimmy Bond - bass * Billy Mundi - drums, cymbals, tambourine * Alan Wilson - harmonica * Nick Venet - sound effects

Nice harmonica on this. Al Wilson could really get down.

studio. the sitar sound is
probably bouzouki, a greek instrument.

Interesting. So, who were the musicians, where, when? There seems to be sitar influence, if not sitar. Live performance or studio?
