This classic soul act has tons of hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But at the time of this concert, their last significant hit had been in 1975. Their most recent album, "Touch," had been released in 1981, and was run of the mill. Fortunately in my opinion, they only played a couple songs from their most recent albums ("Reach High," "Taste of Bitter Love," and "I Will Fight"), and instead concentrated on their earlier classics.
Like all the other albums I've posting from this festival, everything here is officially unreleased, but the sound quality is excellent. And I boosted the lead vocals relative to the instruments to further improve the sound quality.
This album is 44 minutes long.

The cover photo is from this exact festival. However, it appears to be from a backstage interview. Also, while Gladys Knight is in the middle, only two of the three members of her backing band, the Pips, are shown with her.
This is great! Do you happen to have anything from the late 80s 90s era of Gladys? Specifically from the All our love, visions, or Life era? I can't find any of these live performances/audio anywhere. Other than recent performances of love overboard, or a few Save the overtime for me. and even those are slim.
ReplyDeleteSorry, no. Do you have any good live recordings of her from the late 1960s or early 1970s? I've been looking for that and haven't found much, other than one obscure official live album and a few songs here and there on TV.
DeleteNo im sorry, i wish i did. The search continues for us both.
