The good news is, this recording is a soundboard bootleg. The bad news is, it's only 20 minutes long. I'm sure they played more than that. This wasn't the kind of concert, like Live Aid, where music acts had to be kept to short sets due to time concerns. But as we've seen with some other music acts already, for whatever reason, we often only get parts of sets. Grand Funk Railroad is a case in point, where only one song has emerged in soundboard quality. And while I was able to find more songs from an audience bootleg for that band, there is all I could find here.
At the time of this concert, Delaney and Bonnie hadn't had much success yet. They had just released their second album a couple of months earlier, but it only reached the lower rungs of the album charts. However, their albums were critically praised, and they were clearly a band on the rise. They toured the U.S. extensively in the months prior to this concert, opening for big name bands like Blind Faith (Eric Clapton's band at the time) and Led Zeppelin. To show just how hot they were, later in the year, both Clapton and George Harrison of the Beatles went on tour with them, playing lead guitar in their band!
Here's a Wikipedia article about them:
This album is 20 minutes long. Had it been any shorter, I would have paired it with another short set.
01 We Got to Get Ourselves Together (Delaney & Bonnie)
02 The Ghetto (Delaney & Bonnie)
03 When the Battle Is Over (Delaney & Bonnie)
04 Things Get Better (Delaney & Bonnie)

The cover photo is from this exact concert. There are some home videos and news reports from this festival, and in one of them I was able to find a short clip of Delaney and Bonnie. I took a screenshot from that, which means this is in color. I then used the Krea AI to improve the image detail.
