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.

It might surprise some that Ronnie Montrose was the guitar player for awhile in THE EDGAR WINTER GROUP, before being replaced by Rick Derringer. There's a very cool scat vocal and guitar battle between Edgar and Ronnie on "Tobacco Road". Enjoy!
