SHADES OF GRAY

There is no mention of Mike playing Shades of Grey live during the 67 tour. In fact, I don't recall a single instance of them playing Shades of Grey live in the 1960s.

"Shades Of Gray" is an excellent guess. Jacksonville was early in the tour and it may have been dropped. Notice Mike Nesmith is not singing on his mike and it appears that Davy and Peter are sharing lead vocals.

Yes they did played Kind of Girl I Could Love live on Canada but i don't think Mike would play steel guitar live on that song

Another interesting element to the photo, note the number of keyboards on stage. Who does Peter think he is, Rick Wakeman of Yes? :) So to Davy's immediate left is what appears to be a Fender Rhodes keyboard bass, which we can hear Davy playing on "Auntie Grizelda" on Live 1967 (and possibly other tracks). Ray Manzerek used this same unit with The Doors, although he had his just sitting atop his organ. To the left of the keyboard bass that looks like a Fender Rhodes electric piano, and then Peter is sitting at some type of organ, although I can't tell exactly what it is by the photo. Also cool to see Mike's spare Rickenbacker guitar on the stand behind him. And then you've got the tympani drum in the foreground, various percussion instruments on the drum riser, and as previously mentioned, Davy playing the bass. Boy, for a group that didn't "play their own instruments", there sure is a heckuva lot of instruments on that stage! :)

Great shot, amazing array of instruments and still lots of room to move arund on stage. Multiple keyboard instruments for different keyboard sounds, piano, harpsichord and organ, before the days of DX7s anbd Korgs.

I stand corrected re Shades of Gray being performed live in 67.

That's raises the more important question for me, is there any audience or sound board recording of them performing it?

As far as the keyboard Peter is playing, is that his Vox Continental (the Believer sound)?

I was at the Jacksonville in 67. Shades Of Gray was not played. Well in Jacksonville any way.
