I may have a boot of this. If it's the one i'm thinking of, it is indeed a terrific performance. The review was unclear, though - is this from a specific show or is it a comp of several performances?

the liner notes say recorded "live" at the Funkhaus on March 3, 1972 in Hamburg, Germany.

Gave this CD a spin yesterday for the 1st time, and was awe struck: This album is amazing! The Coltrane medley, with the 17 minutes of circular breathing Blue Train is simply priceless.

Immediately after the CD ended, I pressed the Play button again. And then again.

This is a great CD, folks!

Great stuff and highly recommended to all RRK fans. If I recall though, another half hour of material circulates from this concert:

Prelude Back Home

Satin Doll

My Cherie Amour

Fingers in the Wind

There Is A Balm In Gilead/Volunteered Slavery/Dem Red Beans and Rice

[kh1958]

This is a really good one (performance and soundwise).

The same band as Bright Moments except for the drummer.
