Incredible early collection featuring performances from 1974 taken from master tapes and never sounding better, and more complete. Simply the best Aerosmith early live collection ever produced.
Hard rock group from Houston active during the mid 70's and were primarily known as a covers band, playing many of the well known clubs in town. They recorded a handful of original songs in 1975, and disbanded following some unfortunate incidents while on the road. A single 7" record was released, however, and gained enough traction that rhythm guitarist Jimmy Lee Dean decided to continue on and recruit new members (the era known as Jeremiah MK II). This version of the band recorded a full length LP which never saw the light of day as the manager absconded with the master reels soon after the sessions, and nobody heard from him since. Eventually, we rediscovered these masters and attempted to transfer them in the studio but the tapes had severely degraded, the material, such as it is, is also contained on this collection. A 40th Anniversary reunion concert occurred in 2014, and excerpts from that show are included on the 2nd disc. All known recordings of this band are included in this package.

Dallas, TX. based hard rock/jazz fusion group heavily influenced by Jean Luc Ponty and Mahavishnu Orchestra. Enjoyed a brief but fruitful life span between the years 1975 and 1977, and having at least two significant line-up changes. Bassist Roy Vogt would later go on to find much success touring with legendary singer Englebert Humperdinck and teaching and recording many compositions in Nashville, most notably with guitarist extraordinaire Stan Lassiter.

Nothing overtly wrong here, but it is a tad on the hot side with a very tiny amount of break up in the highs where it is maybe pushing so hard, this could be tape limitation. It’s a good recording nonetheless.

Crisp and loud mids/highs with a little lacking in bottom but very enjoyable nonetheless. The band sometimes sounds a little unsure, but the energy is great.

It’s fine just sounds a little dated to me, all the instruments are present which is cool since a lot of times Glenn’s guitar is mixed low or struggles to be heard.
