Notes

This two-record set is okay, in small doses. Ten Years After were always rooted in the blues, and the highlights here, such as "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and "Slow Blues In C" show they hadn't changed. While this set is competent enough, there just isn't enough of the excitement you would expect coming from the band here. You could say that they could do no more and no less, and that proved to be the conundrum for Ten Years After. With Recorded Live they had become predictable, and there wasn't really anywhere left for them to go.
