Overend Watts took over as primary song writer and band leader with Morgan Fisher adding layers of keyboard colour and Dale Griffin powering the kit from the drum stool.
Guitarist Ray Major was now on board as was vocalist Nigel Benjamin and both stand up to their roles brilliantly.
Their night at the LA Forum shines with Doors, Lou Reed and Hoople covers and then-new material such as “The Great White Wail”, “Love Now” and “She Does It”.
Recorded onto 2-track tape straight from the mixing desk means no possibility of remixing or overdubbing, keeping this prime slice of rock ‘n roll as fresh as the night as it was minted: raw, dirty, in-yer-face.
