I bought the album some time in the late '70s and would've loved to attend that concert. Mousetoescamper Nov 2023 #2

East 13th. Street. Roxy

It was stand up. There were no seats in the hall.

One of the best concerts I saw at that time... I believe he was 17 when he wrote that.

I wonder how they would do it now, with the soundscapes available.
Even if it was all played like in this video. (No sequencers, no prerecorded parts.)
Quite an impressive performance.
