Album Notes & Community Reviews
Acting as the second half of his ambitious, self-recorded documentary project, this volume offers further raw, lo-fi insights into the British blues institution's late 1967 concerts. The intensely energetic, heavily amplified performances crucially feature the rapid development of young guitar prodigy Mick Taylor prior to his tenure with The Rolling Stones. The chaotic, unpolished fidelity effectively captures the sweaty, deeply authentic atmosphere of the underground club circuit.
