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.
