This week we go back 45 years to an excellent show the band played in Long Beach California on Sunday, December 14.

They open this first set with a standard 'Bertha>Greatest Story', then 'Althea' goes into a raucous 'Little Red Rooster' this one with Matthew Kelly joining in. The 'Loser' that follows is a personal favorite. The rest of the set is first rate as well, culminating in a most excellent 'Candyman>Looks Like Rain>Don't Ease Me In'.
