MP3/320Kbs/97MB

Blues Rock

LINK

Their third album, 1971’s Teenage Licks, demonstrated an improved control of power and groove in Faces and I May Be Right I May Be Wrong, but also marked their continued interest in going off the rails in Mr Wizard and One Five Eight. With three of its nine tracks credited to Stone The Crows rather than specific writers, it seemed as if the band had weathered the storm of the line-up change, with the promise of greater work to come.

This Fillmore West performance, recorded shortly before Clapton would recruit the core band (Bobby Whitlock on keyboards, Carl Radle on bass and Jim Gordon on drums) to form his next band, Derek & The Dominoes, captures Delaney & Bonnie and Friends in incendiary form and at the peak of this particular lineup's powers. Recorded on the final night of a legendary four-night run in San Francisco, this performance is arguably superior to the official live album. Featuring several of the same songs, as well as material only released on studio albums, this group is literally a musical locomotive driven along by Delaney's charging guitar and vocals and Bonnie's peerless voice, which balances blistering and sweet at the same time. Also for this performance, Delaney's old buddy, Leon Russell, joins the already impressive lineup on grand piano throughout the set.

Tracks:

01. Things Get Better (5:11)

02. I Don't Know Why (6:07)

03. Will the Circle Be Unbroken (3:04)
