- Iconography Production- 82356464644424- 300 grn
An outstanding 1971 studio concert broadcast, featuring Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, hot off the road with Eric Clapton and George Harrison, live at A&R Recording Studios in New York City - this time with friends Duane & Gregg Allman and King Curtis. This set is from 1971 and the sound is very decent considering the era and the conditions. But the music comes shining through nicely. The booklet has a very short essay on the concert and the music along with a couple of b&w photos of the band. Speaking of historic significance, it should be remembered that both Clapton & Harrison escaped the restrictions of their respective bands to hit the road with the Bramletts, and Clapton raided Delaney & Bonnie's friends to form Derek & The Dominos. Be aware there's some talk between songs. But the comments mostly add to the atmosphere of the concert. The whole thing has a relaxed feel - like friends getting together to sing and play some old favorites. A few highlights. After some ads from concert sponsor Singer, the band begins an acoustic set with Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen", with Delaney & Bonnie on vocals and Duane Allman on slide guitar for a nice easy version of this great tune. Basically the first half of this concert is acoustic based . Similarly "Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad" is another great version of this well known song. "Poor Elijah" is another fine performance with a down home gospel feel that ends seemingly because the players just felt like it. Sam Clayton played the conga drums along with Delaney on guitar/vocals, Bonnie on vocals and Duane Allman on slide guitar on this acoustic set. After the acoustic song "The Ghetto" the band comes back for the electric set. Hearing this long musical pause once is enough for atmospheric purposes - Delaney especially sounds very relaxed.. Members of this band include Delaney & Bonnie, members of Little Feat, Duane Allman on guitar, Gregg Allman on piano, and King Curtis on tenor sax. Beginning with "Livin' On The Open Road" this is reminiscent of the Delaney & Bonnie & Friends band albums. "Better Relations" is a nice up tempo performance with slide guitar and horn fills and some good vocals. "The Love Of My Man" slows things down a bit with Bonnie on lead vocals with some nice slide guitar fills from Allman along with another guitarist. Curtis' tenor sax has some fills that help this tune's soulfulness. After a short "chat" the band get into the blues "12 Bar Blues (Don't Want Me Around)", with Delaney on lead vocal. Duane Allman comes in for a solo with some laid back slide guitar sounding like you'd hope. At one point the band lays out letting Allman do his thing. This is one of the best performances here. The band ends things with a jam on "Only You Know & I Know" which stretches out for 18 minutes. This is one of those times you wish you were sitting in the audience. Allman gets another chance to play some slide guitar here and there along with a nice organ solo and Curtis' always great tenor sax blowing. But as a curiosity from that period when Delaney & Bonnie were making some good records, and had a band made up of some of the best musicians of the era, this is worth adding to your Delaney & Bonnie shelf to pull out once in a while. It's an example of that whole period when musicians came together to play and have some fun playing some favorite tunes. Blues-Rock and Blue-Eyed Soul at the highest levels: some small technical imperfections and the long dialogues that intersperse the songs do not affect the historical importance and the musical quality of this unmissable broadcast.
