Due in a few weeks is the 2 CD long box digipak From New York To Chicago. It features New York June 11, 1972 AS (Madison Square Garden) and Chicago June 17, 1972 AS. Both concerts exist on CD-R for ages now in collectors circles but the sound quality is not the best. The shows themselves belong to a very good tour with appealing setlists. If SR managed to improve the sound for both significantly this release is recommendable in any case. I have my doubts though since SR is known as a "second rate label". For more infos please go to our Concerts On CD - 1972 section. It`s already listed.

It is a straight copy of the soundboard By Special Request ! From Louisiana To Tennessee which we had back in 1997 by the Rock Legends label and features the Alexandria March 30, 1977 ES. Nothing to brag about. For more infos please go to our Concerts On CD - 1977 section. It`s already there.

Essence Of Energy is the title and Seattle, November 12, 1970 ES are the date and location. We had this show back in 1994 by JR Production. The important difference: Now we have the complete show and the sound is by far better cause a new tape has been found. The older source sprang from a recording that was done from the 10th row with much audience noise. Now we have a recording that was made from a place somewhere close to the stage with much clearer sound. On the old tape Funny How Time Slips Away was incomplete because of the tape switch. Now all is there. Needless to say that we have an accompanying 20-page booklet with many photos and informative liner notes.To sum it up: It is a must-have ! It is already in our Concerts On CD - 1970 section.

You Don`t Have To Say You Love Me is the title and Las Vegas, February 21, 1973 Dinner Show is the date. Again we have a beautiful digipak filled with photos and liner notes and again we have a two mike ambiance recording just like the recent Faded Love. This means very good sound with stereo effect. And the most important thing: The concert wasn`t available in any form before !  A complete new performance !!! I could already listen to some songs and I was really satisfied with what I  heard. A decent show in full length with standard repertoire. Highly recommendable ! It`s already in our Concerts On CD - 1973 section.
