Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiling explosive radio sessions from 1969 and a full London concert from 1971, this double album traces the heavy rock titans actively conquering the British music scene. The raw, incredibly fiery recordings catch the quartet stretching their blues-rock origins into the sprawling, virtuosic improvisations that defined their stadium era.
