This show comes from a great but short lived series that ran on ABC-TV circa 1973-75. Since this is way before stereo TV, you could watch the visual portion on TV, and they would simulcast on certain FM stations the stereo sound. While the sound and mixes are primitive by today's standards, they weren't too bad for the times.

A way too short performance by the late great Albert King. It's obviously the closing number, as Albert exits, and the band continues on, until the broadcast fades out to the commercial (bastards!). There is a clumsy edit during some of the spoken intro on the song, where some clown likely thought something said had to be taken out for the broadcast. You notice it, but it's not horrendous.
