Cultural Facts:
-
The “Official Bootleg”: The band released Recorded Live partly as an answer to the poor-quality bootlegs circulating among fans. The original notes emphasized that there were no overdubs or studio fixes - what you hear is what actually happened onstage.
-
Recorded With the Stones' Truck: The shows were captured over four nights in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Frankfurt and Paris using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, the same traveling recording setup used for numerous major rock albums and concerts of the era.
-
Alvin Lee Was Already a Guitar Folk Hero: Lee's blistering performance of “I'm Going Home” at Woodstock had turned him into an international guitar star almost overnight. By the time these 1973 concerts were recorded, Ten Years After's live reputation had become so huge that the band spent much of the year touring Europe, America and Japan.
