Intresting though raw live Amon Duul 2 recorded early 1973

"I am a great follower of this group and could not believe it when this CD turned up out of the blue.At the time I thought I had heard all of their material!The music on the CD though is not of the same quality as the LIVE IN LONDON album even if the clarity of the recording is superb.The highlights on this include Kanaan and Green Bubble Raincoated Man which are both very well performed in front of what seems a very laid back audience.Also on this CD are two studio recordings from Dance of the Lemmings era:Marilyn Munroe Memorial Church Drums and an alternative mix of Chewing Gum Telegram, both of which are available only on this CD.Definitly a collecters item this one which I greatly enjoyed, bum notes,warts and all."

"Recorded at the BBC in early 1973,not quite as astounding as their landmark 'Live In London' release(see my review),but still decent.Highlights here include "Ladies Mimiky" and "Trap",both off of the 'Vive La Trance' lp and "Kanaan" from the 'Phallus Dei' album.It's great to see a live gig with completely different tunes played.The two bonus cuts added here,"Marilyn Monroe Memorial Drums" and "Chewing Gum Telegram"(alternative mix)are okay.Mainly aimed toward big-time AD II fans."
