Album Notes & Community Reviews
Culled from a legendary benefit concert in extreme heat for the Springfield Creamery, this archival release documents the band at a peak transitional moment. It perfectly captures their warm, country-inflected rock turning into fiercely extended, deeply inspired improvisational suites like the monumental 'Dark Star'.
