Today I'm offering something unique from an old classic band making a comeback in the 90's.

Here's a group you don't see much from and this is a gem of a recording.

As far as i can tell, this recording is the only one to surface from 1997 and is the earliest recording i can find from the 90's.

Since reforming in 1987, Big Brother has had a total of 15 different guest female singers, to replace the iconic Janis Joplin.

Original member James Gurley quit in 1996 because he could no longer accept his colleagues' idea to hire Lisa Battles as a permanent lead singer to replace Joplin.

He was replaced in 1997 by Tom Finch. But it appears that Tom wasn't included during this concert.

Instead we have the Famous Les Dudek filling in on Lead Guitar. What a treat !!!!

In 1999 the band released the album "Do What You Love", with Lisa Battle as the lead singer. She would leave the following year.



Band Members (I believe this is the full line-up for this concert.)

Lisa Battle - Lead Vocals (recorded and toured with Big Brother for three years)

Sam Andrew - Guitar, Vocals (Original Member)

David Getz - Drums (Original Member)

Peter Albin - Bass, Vocals (Original Member)

Les Dudek - Lead Guitar (Special Guest)



Recording Notes:

Track 9 " Women Is Losers" is cut off after 4:00 and missing the end due to tape flip.

Track 18 " Ball and Chain" is cut at 1:24 and continues after the tape flip.
