Every once in a while the Reverse Collector (TM) is tempted by a lot of low end records on the internet to relist.  This often spikes sales, although often of other titles.  In this case I bought $100 worth of prog and classic rock lots on ebay, of which this live James Gang album is one.  I don't think I've broke even on that hundred bucks to this day, but this sale brings me 8 bucks closer.

Well, at least I finally get to listen to this live James Gang album. Live In Concert, which was recorded in NYC at Carnegie Hall in May, 1971.  This was a single album release, but it could've been a double as the whole show on the internet indicates.    

I bought Rides Again in early high school after having a conversation at a local Worcester bookstore with a wide selection of cutout imports with a another person flipping with me through the heavily discounted bins.  He was raving about the James Gang, and I bought a used copy of Rides Again shortly around that time, if I didn't have it already.  The biggest, inescapable AOR hit "Funk #49" didn't make the cut although it was in the set.  It does have the Rides Again closer "Ashes, The Rain and I" and "Tend My Garden." 

When I was doing Rubric, cohort Kenny always had a CD copy of the debut, Yer' Album laying around and this has the closer "Stop" opening the set as well as "Take A Look Around' and an epic 18+ minute version of "Lost Woman."  That leaves the hit from Thirds, ""Walk Away" and the Albert King cover 'You're Gonna Need Me" not on those 3 Joe Walsh era James Gang albums.  This 4th one went gold in 1972 when the Walshless Straight Shooter and Passin' Thru were released.

Good guitar record.

Nobody really listens to Bob for blind spiritual uplift or at least I didn't.  The Christian records were the voice of a wrathful God and everybody ripped "Wiggle Wiggle" apart when Bob just wanted you to enjoy life and dance. For me, I look to Bob to push intellectual, sonic or my own nostalgic buttons, if I'm gonna be hon
