Finally available on wide release 32 years after it was a limited-edition, and much coveted, vinyl release sent to 1,000 radio stations and critics (each one with a sticker hand-glued to the cover), this 44-minute live radio station concert is half as long and more than twice as exciting as Nils Lofgren's official live concert souvenir, 1977's disappointing and bloated Night After Night. Al Kooper, who was then doing pre-production on Lofgren's second solo effort, sits in on keyboards and the stripped-down band also featuring Nils' brother Tommy on second guitar and a bassist and drummer keeps the sound lean and mean. The singer and guitarist also plays decent piano on a stunning version of the Goffin & King nugget "Goin' Back," rearranged substantially from the Byrds' more popular cover. The only real rockers are the opening title track and the closing "Beggar's Day"; the latter tune, dedicated to Crazy Horse's Danny Whitten (Lofgren was a member of that band for a brief period), is a highlight of Lofgren's catalog. Any Nils collection is unthinkable without this, so its appearance, even three decades after its original release, should be greeted with enthusiasm by anyone even vaguely interested in Lofgren's career.

Nils gets in high gear on Back It Up, Keith Don't Go and Beggars Day, my picks for best tracks.

Thanks Tom
Feel free to post at random ...I'm not bothered about how many comments are left...Seems less and less d/ls can be bothered
It's just nice to see a cherished album posted for net friends and others to have access if interested - I tend to post mp3 @320 CBR as when I did post lossless I got more requests for good lossy ...But anything goes - Cheers
Thanks so much for posting this. I thoroughly enjoy your postings on The Lair and it's great to have access to another side of your eclectic taste, and know that Gus has others who will assist him in maintaining this previously moribund blog. As an aside, I have always been confused by the term authorized bootleg. It strikes me as only slightly less oxymoronic than the term intelligence briefing for my country's current Resident in the White House, but I digress.... I look forward to seeing and listening to more of your postings here.
Excellent post! Thanks so much.
