Album Notes & Community Reviews
A notoriously dark and intensely intimate recording, primarily drawn from a grueling 1972 European tour. The stripped-down, acoustic arrangements and highly improvisational, deeply depressed lyrical excursions鈥攎ost notably the thirteen-minute 'Please Don't Pass Me By (A Disgrace)'鈥攔eveal an artist struggling profoundly with his own mental health.
