This is a very nice sounding set of soundboard recordings from B.B. King at the legendary Fillmore East. I intended on posting this tribute to The King Of The Blues earlier but the Filefactory snafu made me run a little late. I couldn't think of a better tribute, from my collection, than this pair of shows. I've kicked this set out quite often in my car on the way to work. I can't get enough of it, and highly recommend it. It has a nice clean sound for a 1971 soundboard.

Out-takes from recording of Rock In A Hard Place in Miami, The absence of Tyler during the some of the period is reflected by the number of tracks which are instrumental versions. A few have Tyler ad-libbing vocals.

"Gut Bucket Blues" (instrumental) and "Take It Or Leave It" #13 eventually became "Bolivian Ragamuffin".

The alternate version of "Bitches Brew" is an instrumental.

A version of "Riff and Roll" turned up on Pandora's Box but recorded at The Power Station, NYC in Sept. 81, a year earlier.

The version of "Joanie's Butterfly" is an instrumental which is how Crespo intended it`to be until Tyler added lyrics from a dream he had. "Jailbait", "Cry Me A River" and "Lightning Strikes" are also primitive versions of the final songs.
