In this rare 1967 live performance, Jake Holmes takes the stage in Greenwich Village—likely at The Bitter End—for a stunning folk-psych set featuring “Genuine Imitation Life” and “Sleeping Woman.” Backed by minimal instrumentation and heavy on introspection, the set offers a raw look at Holmes before his iconic jingles and legendary songwriting credits. It’s a time capsule from a defining voice of the era, equal parts poetic and subversive.
