Stockholm 1973

"The version of the band represented on this live recording taken from the Swedish TV show Opopoppa includes two of the founding members in vocalist Bob Hite and guitarist Henry "The Sunflower" Vestine. Drummer Fito De La Parra was preceded by Frank Cook, but has been a mainstay of the band through the majority of its' existence. Although their hit making days were over by this time, they still remained a viable, vital and popular band particularly overseas. Only two of their signature songs are included in this set, but the current material holds up well and they also play a version of a boogie which was one of the bands cornerstones. The addition of a keyboard player gave a different twist to their sound ... This live set stands up on its' own, not as a relic of a long gone era. It's totally enjoyable and features some fine playing along with the feel good hippie vibes".

"'Stocholm 1973' was recorded for a live live Swedish television show, 'Opopoppa', and the sound quality is much cleaner and the band much tighter than on the Carnegie Hall disc ... But the highlight of 'Stockholm 1973' is Henry Vestine's lead guitar work - the slashing chords, the searing slide lines and the cascading, single-note solos - that is a testament to the worthiness to be regarded alongside such blues-rock heroes of the 1960s, including Bishop, Mick Taylor, Johnny winter and his late band mate Wilson".
