Billy's high in the mix, and he drives. A perfect snapshot, with Bobby's sweet young voice in perfect form and a solid driven pulse throughout.

High-voltage and up tempo shuffle. Great sounding C. Miller cleanup.

They push the energy up and up and up. Special transition into OMSN. An all-round high voltage jamming show. Underrated.

High energy, shitkickingly good. The energy in this is off the charts.

Pig on a ferocious rampage, the band sizzling hot behind him, and all this in the first set. This show deserves more love.

Deep Elem Blues
Dec. 28, 1970
Legion Stadium

Far-out funkfest from the too-short era when this was in rotation as an electric sexathon. Makes me think that Deep Elem is the godfather to Loose Lucy. Listen here and tell me it ain't the case.

Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Damn right Cucamonga007. Check out April 15, '70 for openers: It's up there at the top of this list. I stand by what I said, they opened with this when they knew they meant bizzness.... Cool version this: Funky butt from Phil, with sweet country harmonies.

Peak era for CR&S and this one doesn't disappoint. A wee bit slower than others from the time, but they were clearly working on it as a showpiece. I remember seeing them open shows with this and thinking, "ahhh, they mean it tonight...".
Turn On Your Love Light
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium

Short by standards of the time, clocking in at just over 12 minutes, but full of TNT and barks and yodels, as described. Caps off an uneven show with a good powerful blast.
Brokedown Palace
Dec. 27, 1970
Legion Stadium

Starts a little rough on the vocals, but comes together right quick and sails away on beautiful harmonies.
