very nice.
precursor to ARS and Tower of Power; more Memphis sound.
This \heavily\ influenced the rock band Chicago, too.

They won’t stay in Norway long as the muslims are taking over the Country and pressing Sharia Law.

Were the Mar-Keys with them? This was recorded as part of a revue. Sam and Dave were there as well as Otis Redding, I believe.

Thom Brennaman’s favorite act.
1971! Would have been a heck of a show.

Best music ever. A classier time when musicians dressed sharp for public performances which adds to the coolness. By comparison, what a sloppy no-talent society we’ve become.
