Released 1997

Made from a live-in-the-studio radio broadcast from August of 1971 (not April as the label says, since they talk about King Curtis' murder, which happened in August), this 70-minute bootleg CD features the classic lineup, some two months after their second major Fillmore appearance. The performance isn't nearly as tight or intense as the Fillmore shows, though Duane, Dickey, and Gregg are spot-on, along with the rest of the band. The songs, eight of them, include "Stormy Monday," "Trouble No More," "Statesboro Blues," "One Way Out," "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed," "Don't Keep Me Wondering," and "You Don't Love Me," the latter featuring a guitar cadenza that stretches it out exquisitely into a nice closing jam (which doesn't get an index point of its own). The sound is stereo and really close and loud, there are no liner notes, and the only flaw is the annoying spots where the sound blanks out over the applause (no music is interfered with, but you'd think they'd have edited out the splices altogether) between songs, where the radio station call letters are mentioned by the deejay. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
