The '68 Special was filmed in California, a more intimate affair than the big live shows which followed.

He looks so good here!

It's incredible how he went downhill so quickly in 5 years to his Hawaii special, and his last performance and death 4 years after that. Such a rapid looking decline considering the way he looked and sounded in 1968. Addictions.

He had so much left that he could have give had he gotten help, and been managed by people who had gotten him the help.

I know, I can't bear to look at the last onstage photos of him, bloated and lacking that spark. And only 42.
