Also recorded live at the Kaleidoscope around this time was the album which would find later 1971 release with the deceptive title, "Live At Topanga Corral" (later renamed "Live at the Kaleidoscope"), under Wand Records because Liberty Records did not want to release a live album at the time and manager Skip Taylor did not want a lawsuit. The band would end 1968 in a big way at a New Year's show at the Shrine Auditorium, in Los Angeles, with Bob Hite riding a painted purple dayglo elephant to the stage.
