***Note about the Rainbow Bridge Soundtrack:
At the time of its original release, 'Rainbow Bridge' was said to have been recorded live at Haleakala Crater, Maui, Hawaii, July 30 1970. This was also released later on a 2-CD set (whether it is a bootleg or not is questionable). This is not the soundtrack to the movie as it says on the original cover.
