COLD BLOOD - Fillmore West San Francisco Ca, 1971-06-30 FM


I've always loved Lydia Pense and Cold Blood since I first saw live them in the Motown back in early 1970. Lydia was a sexy dynamo onstage, the band was funky, and had great dynamics live. The original source of this show comes from the Fillmore West 30th Anniversary Tree, and is one of the only documents around of Cold Blood's early sets. Taken from an FM broadcast, there are several audio flaws from the soundboard mix and tape hiss throughout including a Fillmore power failure, so this show could use a remaster job by those in the know. Additionally track-12 (I Just Wanna Make Love To You) had to be removed due to release on the "Last days of the Fillmore" box set. But stll if you are a fan of Cold Blood. it's a pleasure to listen to them live once again! As always your comments are appreciated!!!

Jazamo November 2010 notes:
Several audio flaws at the soundboard throughout. Source audio has hiss and looks to be compressed. Track-4 was incorectedly listed as "Let Me Down Easy". Audio mix changes after power failure (track-6). Track-12 had to be removed due to release on the "Last days of the Fillmore" box set.
