By the time the Youngbloods, always crowd faves at the west coast ballrooms, performed live for San Franciscos free-form radio pioneer KSAN in 1971, theyd 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. Were elated to present for the first time on vinyl a 12-song set thats equal parts rocking R&B, dreamy jazzers and honky tonk flag-wavers, with just a little bit of psychedelic weirdnesstopped 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 easyand so damn beautiful.
