Great CD!
Several sources refer to this as a soundboard -
to my ears, it's clearly an audience recording, albeit
with no audience noise per se. All instruments have room
echo, none seem to be close-miked at all, as you would
have with a board.
Luckily, an exceptional performance makes up for a
marginal recording. "Ramblin" features some of EC's best
slide playing. EC can at times play slide a little too
precisely - but in this performance, he exhibits
loopy, "out of the box" playing that clearly shows Duane
Allman's influence as he dances around all the notes.
Also features an incredible solo break on "Why does
Love...", following an interesting intro in which EC
teases the crowd with a few notes from "Eyesight to the
Blind." This show also features the first-ever live
performance of "Motherless Children", albeit in raw form.
