Source: Blaxipad, who has a really interesting YouTube channel, featuring a Partch performance (also from 1968) entitled Delusions of the Fury. Must be seen and heard to be believed!
While you're roaming around the interesting confines of Blaxipad's channel, be sure to check out "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen," a 1964 documentary about one of the most interesting Canadians ever.
