Live in London '68
I found this at a local f.y.e. today for $5.24! I knew it had poor sound quality, but for $5 who could pass it up?
My favorite song is "Don't Know Which Way to Go", another Peter Green guitar gem. I haven't really listened to the Spencer material yet, but I'll do so soon. Any thoughts? |

Thankfully you paid as little as you did as the sound is nicht gut. That's one of those ultra budget releases that is basically glorified soundboard (and I've heard better soundboard boots, truth be known). Might as well be bootleg as the band never endorsed that release. Song selection is so so, pre-DK era, but it's damn near unlistenable without the proper audio dynamics. Besides there were far too many rote blues covers that amount to the mundane from that era of the band. If it wasn't for some of Green's compositions and brilliant stringed theatrics, they'd of been AWB* in '68.
Stick to Shrine or any of the various '69 live sound sets - truer FM sound anyway, the way Green preferred it.. * Average White Band |

I got some sort of itunes alert yesterday saying that "Live in London 68" title was released Nov 1, 2008.

iTunes pimping for business as usual with their "alerts" HA! This set has been kicked around for so long it resembles a junkyard dog at this point. It first saw light around 2000 to my knowledge, only to be reissued two or three years back with a different cover. It's also seen light as The Dream, but it couldn't be further from that lofty title if it tried.

But like all collectors you gotta have it (mine cost $5 too...although $5 was worth more back then!). I've been collecting the miscellaneous ones since I finished buying all the studio albums - Vaudeville Years, Showbiz Blues, Live In Boston I, II & III, Live at BBC, etc. Lots of good stuff on them.

1987 go figure. Ha! Thanks for the additional clarity on that. And yeah, I guess true blue Mac diehards gotta have it, for "completeness" if nothing else (sure won't be to listen to too often, that's for sure -- ouch).

- Don't know which way to go - Buzz me - Worried Dream - How blue can you get these have never been officially released with A-quality, but they are magnificent in the way Peter and co have put them down. Nothing wrong with that, just ignore the recording quality and let the MUSIC come to you. |

"Live in London" is not actually bad for a bootleg recording from that era.
But then I grew up on Hendrix bootlegs... What stinks is various record labels trying to make money off it. I bet some of Buckingham/Nicks era fans have bought that based on the low price and thought "what the heck?". It's definitely woth buying if you find it real cheap. |

Think it was called You Got To Move or something, and might have actually been another name for this '68 album. |
