*** sorry , I don't know the name of this track......

What better show to blast your eardrums with on a Friday than this amazing recording
of one of the most kick-ass guitarists ever to hold the instrument...... Almost soundboard quality tape with only 2 small flaws :

1- A small drop-out at the beginning of Track 2 (the only tune I didn't recognize)

2- Alvin's vocals are a bit buried in the mix - the taper was VERY close to Lee's guitar amps

Also , one of the few times a rowdy (& drunk) audience actually adds to the over-all
ambience .... Alvin seems to feed off of it & delivers the goods (but doesn't he always)

Definitely a show no Alvin Lee fan(atic) should be without - don't even THINK of hestitating!

Special thanx to Keith for loaning me his master & granting permission to circulate it....

For those who were there & the rest of us poor bastards who weren't.......

peace,
