This is only the third concert tape to surface from the infamous SPIRIT 1973 Euro tour, and the best sounding one as well. Randy sounds like he's feeling NO PAIN, which is likely, since after this tour ended in May 1973, he ended up in rehab. The "Deck The Halls" opener is just the band sound checking to get their levels right, as the sound improves once they get to "Veruska". There are interesting versions of "Fresh Garbage" and "1984", an announced jam session, and the only known live performance of the KAPT. KOPTER song, "Rainbow". For a 1973 recording, this one sounds pretty damn good.

Randy California - guitar & lead vocals
Ed Cassidy - drums
Larry "Fuzzy" Knight - bass & backing vocals
