Youngbloods

Beautiful! The Youngbloods Live In San Francisco. 1971!

LIVE'IN'SAN'FRANCISCO, 1971!

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-butter voice of Jesse Colin Young and the guitar/keyboard wizardry of Banana, backed by the rock-solid bass-and-drum tandem of Michael Kane and Joe Bauer, the Youngbloods positively sparkle here. We're elated to present for the first time on vinyl a 12-song set that's equal parts rocking R&B, dreamy jazzers and honky tonk flag-wavers, with just a little bit of psychedelic weirdness topped off, of course, by a knockout version of their generational anthem, "Get Together". The Youngbloods: at the top of their game, making it all look so easy and so damn beautiful. Mastered from the original analog reels and pressed on lush vinyl.
