Sem Endrju, Bil King, Markus Dabidej, Toni Klemens, Brad Kambel i Ron Markovic.
Ubrzo je doslo do izvesnih promena u bendu, ali su ipak u novembru 1969. godine
objavili album "Kozmic Blues". Mesec dana kasnije raspala se i ova grupa.
Sredinom aprila, nakratko je nastavila da nastupa sa grupom "Big Brother
and the Holding Company", a vec 12. juna pocela da vezba sa novom "Ful tilt Boo

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
Everybody!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
That's it!
