Search - The Flock :: The Best of the Flock

Out of print in the U.S.! Digitally remastered collection of classic Flock tracks. Formed in the late 1960's in Chicago, the band were noted for their unorthodox approach to art rock, incorporating horns and other instrumentation into rock and jazz forms. Key to the band's sound were their guitarist/keyboard player Fred Glickstein and virtuoso violinist Jerry Goodman, who went on to play with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and The Dixie Dregs. The band were championed in their early days by English Blues legend John Mayall, who famously dubbed them the 'best American band' he'd heard and wrote the band's first album's liner notes. The Flock were the band that Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant pulled the plug on at the 1970 Bath Festival because they were playing for too long and Grant wanted to get Zeppelin on as the sun went down. This allegedly resulted in a few punches being thrown between the respective road crews: so much for '60s peace and love! 16 tracks. BGO.
