Synopsis

Album Details
This Live Album features an Almost 60 Minute Set Recorded at the Time When Pete Lemer was Still with the Band. It Includes Two Tracks from the First Album and Three from the Second, as Well as Two Additional Tracks, "Wotever it Is" and "Freedom", which Weren't Previously Released. Although this Material Has Not Been Remastered it Still Has a Unique Quality and an Extraordinary Sound that was Not Customary for the Time. All of the Instruments Are Very Clear in the Mix and it is a Very Good Example of the Band's Excellent Ensemble Playing. The Gurvitz Brothers and Mr. Snip Are on Fine Form Singing Three Part Harmonies. Adrian Gurvitz Performs Some Blistering Guitar Solos While the Rhythm Guitar and Keyboards Both Provide Solid Support for the Vocals and Rhythm Section. The Power of the Latter Keeps the Perfect Balance Between Timing, Virtuoso Interludes and Merciless Force. Played Loud Enough, this Dynamic Recording Almost Makes You Feel Like You're Back in the 70's at the Actual Concert.
 

CD Reviews

Timeless music from underrated legends
Bodhi Heeren | Copenhagen | 12/11/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is certainly a band, that could have deserved a lot more recognition, then and now. Mixing progressive rock, blues, jazzrock they made some timeless, adventurous and intriguing music.



Not only very strong instrumentally: drumlegend Ginger Baker and his elegant polyrythms, the fine fusionbased keyboardplayer Peter Lemer, Paul Gurvitz with some rocksolid and inventive bass, and his brother Adrian, a really versatile guitarist. But Adrian Gurvitz also wrote some very strong compositions, fine and catchy with intelligent lyrics. Delivered with three-way harmonies by the Gurvitz brothers and lead singer Mr. Snips.



Here they are caught live on an auspicious night, where everything fits perfectly. Great jams, great interplay, magic in the air. In front of an enthusiastic audience.



And they sure must have had some wizards behind the mixing deck, cause - just as on their brilliant "Live In Derby '75" - the soundquality is downright awesome."
