Tracks from the 1974 performance have been around in bootleg form since they were recorded and aired on Cleveland’s WMMS FM, but now they’re packaged into this import disc. Donna Halper does the introductions.

Of interest are the band’s previously unreleased recordings of “Fancy Dancer,” “Bad Boy,” and “Garden Road,” as well as the live version of “Here Again,” which is an overlooked piece.
