This concert album by the long-running British institution is,
overall, its best early work, featuring as it does most of the best
songs from its first few albums in vastly better sounding versions.
This is, clearly, the place to marvel at the band's innovative
melange of blues, folk, Yes- style riffs, and endearingly cosmic
lyrics, not to mention its centrepiece--the tag team dueling
guitars of Andy Powell and Ted Turner. The album's main attraction
is the epic "Phoenix", expanded by seven minutes from its studio
version and included in two different performances. It's precisely
the sort of psychedelic jam that used to really wow them at the
Fillmore during the Summer Of Love. Other highlights include a
heartfelt version of "Rock 'n' Roll Widow", and an impressively
arranged take on the Jimmy Reed blues classic "Baby What You Want
Me to Do" (misidentified, for some reason, as the Everly Brothers'
"You Got Me Runnin'").
