'As Long as I Have You' was a Garnett Mimms song that usually started 
a medley that contained everything from 'Fresh Garbage' to 'Cat's 
Squirrel' and 'Cadillac, No Money Down'. I've always felt that the 
best versions of the medley was from the '69 Fillmore West shows. I 
don't believe it lasted into the following tours at all, as their 
*own* catalog of songs began to grow and they weren't limited to the 
material from the first album for their live shows. I, for one, would 
have liked to have heard that medley in every setlist up until '80.
