This record belonged to a girlfriend of one of the brothers I lived with in Claymont in 1978. She brought it over one night and we played it and she left it there. Pretty much forgot I had it. Might have played it once since then. Looking at the records I didn’t have much hope for how it would play. Lots of scratches and smudges but it actually sounded pretty good. Again it’s from 1972 so I wasn’t surprised. This is a great live album recorded at the Academy Of Music in N.Y.C. and The Whisky-A-Go-Go in L.A. A mix of Gospel, Funk, and Rock with Rick Derringer on lead guitar. An 8 piece band with a sax player and two trumpet players with Jerry Lacroix taking most of the vocals. A two record set , side one is backed with side 4 and 2 with three. Side one opens with the Gospel sounding “Save The Planet”. “Jive Jive Jive” is a Funky number and the last on the side is Otis Redding’s “I Can’t Turn You Loose” most remembered by me as the entrance music of The Blues Brothers. Side two has three Rock songs, Two written by Rick Derringer. “Still Alive And Well” is a song Johnny Winter also recorded and he makes a guest appearance on “Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo” on lead vocals and guitar. In between is a cover of Chuck Berry’s “Back In The U.S.A.”. Side 3 is a 17 minute jam of the classic “Tobacco Road” with Edgar doing some vocal exercises and holding a note for an impossibly long time, with some jamming on keyboards, guitar and horns. Side 4 has “Cool Fool” a Edgar Winter song followed by Do Yourself A Favour” a Stevie Wonder cover “. The record closes with another classic “Turn On Your Lovelight” a song covered by The Grateful Dead in many of their early live shows. A great record and one I’m sorry I didn’t listen to more back in the day.
