beautiful! live in san francisco, 1971

CD
By the time the Youngbloods, always crowd faves at the west coast ballrooms,performed live for San Francisco's free-form radio pioneer KSAN in 1971,they'd honed their set to a fine gloss. Featuring the smooth as apple-buttervoice of Jesse Colin Young and the guitar/keyboard wizardry of Banana,backed by the rock-solid bass-and-drum tandem of Michael Kane and JoeBauer, the Youngbloods positively sparkle here. We're elated to present alengthy, previously unissued 13-song set that's equal parts rocking R&B, dreamyjazzers and honky tonk flag-wavers, with just a little bit of psychedelicweirdness—topped off, of course, by a knockout version of their generationalanthem, "Get Together." The Youngbloods: at the top of their game, makingit all look so easy—and so damn beautiful.TRACKS: Six Days On The Road / Country Home / On Sir Francis Drake /Dreamboat / Drifting and Drifting / Interlude / Old Dan Tucker / You Can'tCatch Me / On Beautiful Lake Spenard / Josianne / Explosion / Beautiful /Get Together
