What sort of music is this?
Must say that the album cover sleeve art is wonderfully arresting, and oddly inviting.

I haven't listened to this album in years. ( I have it on vinyl) The Wheel was one of my favorites
Yeah, The Wheel is one of my favorites too!
I'm not too good with music classification, but I suppose it is something akin to folk rock with some digression into something more experimental in the latter half.
This is me around the time this album came out. Unfortunately the picture quality is poor. You can tell I was a typical Grateful Dead fan.

Hey, your hair was nearly as long as mine is now.
WOW, for the last several years, I've kept my hair extremely short. Check out my profile. In someways I miss my long hair, although I don't miss the hassle of washing and drying it..
Thanks very much for your kind response, sounds like some of the stuff I could well like; I must listen to a few of their tracks.
True, although I just take it as a good excuse to take a longer shower.
Now, I'm on to Jerry Garcia Band's Let it Rock...

Yes brother, let it rock
BTW, besides Jerry, here's a shout out to Nicky Hopkins who passed away long before his time. He was the most sort after Piano player in those days....
'Songs from the Auvergne' by Joseph Cantaloube, and 'The Pearl Fishers' Duet', by Georges Bizet.
Yes brother, let it rock
Oh man, Nicky Hopkins is fantastic. Poor guy died at 50.
A piece called 'The Swan' from the musical suite 'The Carnival of the Animals' by Camille Saint-Saens.
Jefferson Airplane Live at Woodstock NY 1969 - Won't You Try- Saturday Afternoon.. Jack Casady kicks ass here.
And another piece from Camille Saint-Saens: This time it is the gripping, intense, and quite irresistible 'Danse Macabre'.
One of my favorites!
Just reading this, put me in the mood, so I put on some Edvard and this just happen to be the first song that played....
Edvard Grieg: In the Hall of the Mountain King
And Edvard Grieg's wonderfully electrifying 'In The Hall Of The Mountain King' is one of mine, so thank you for reminding me to play it and listen to it sometime soon ..
Hey, that's brilliant. Obviously, I remembered having heard the song, (some memory vaults from the 60s ) but I had never seen that video. Thanks for posting it.
And, by the way, I must add that I chuckled at your signature ..excellent.
And, keeping with the theme of minor keys and Sixties harmonics, I am listening to the song 'Shapes of Things' by The Yardbirds.
A few from Philip Glass, from 'Satyagraha' ('Tolstoy Farm' and 'Evening Song') and a few more from the wonderfully compelling 'Akhnaten'.
