The first major show for the Psychedelic Stooges was on March 3, 1968 at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, opening for Blood, Sweat & Tears. According to John Sinclair who booked the show, the Psychedelic Stooges were substitutes for the MC5, who had a formidable Detroit reputation that made Blood, Sweat & Tears reluctant to follow them. A fan who saw several of their performances at that time said, "What they achieved was an almost orchestral drone or trance-like sound which was totally unique, valid and impressive."
