Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released shortly after the group's dissolution, this live compilation captures the pioneering New York ensemble at the absolute height of their eclectic, improvisational prowess. The album showcases their unique integration of sophisticated jazz structures and electrified folk into aggressive, highly amplified blues-rock, heavily driven by Al Kooper's virtuosic keyboard work. It serves as a definitive testament to one of the most musically ambitious and influential bands of the early American underground.
