Synopsis

Album Description

2008 archive release, a live performance by one of the most important bands to come from the San Francisco music scene of the '60s along with their contemporaries The Grateful Dead and The Jefferson Airplane. The band became one of the most popular draws in the Bay area of San Francisco and built a solid reputation as a strong live act built around a mixture of good material and what would essentially become their calling card long extended jamming pieces.. The original line up was guitarists John Cippolina and Gary Duncan alongside drummer Greg Elmore, bassist David Frieberg and vocalist Jim Murray. Eight tracks. Voiceprint.

"normally I don't bother rating music,because there can be many reasons to dig certain music,like old time memories,but this whole overpriced series is a crying shame,soundwise it's terrible,it sounds like it was recorded by someone in the audience holding a microphone down in his pocket.

only for compulsive completists,others better stick with the official releases."

Better leave it to the bootleggers!

"Though historically interesting, these pretty low-fi live recordings won't bring you much listening pleasure I'm afraid!"
