I think all of the above have appeared in her sets, with the possible exception of "High". I'm guessing we'll be treated to one gobsmacker.

Cream, "SWLABR";

Which song would this be?

Blue Cheer "Summertime Blues"

I've seen this referred to as the "first metal hit". I can't say I disagree.

[RGMike]

Cream, "SWLABR";

Which song would this be?

That's the actual title -- B-side of "Sunshine of your love". The song with the line "and the rainbow has a beard" (SWLABR apparently stands for "She Walks Like a Bearded Rainbow").

Thanks. Naturally thinking it was an acronymn, I checked their discography and came up empty. Will listen tonight.
