Freddie King - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-27-1974

The flood of posts from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts continues. Here's a 1974 show starring Freddie King.

I posted one Freddie King concert so far. It also is from 1974, but I didn't know the date. This one is a little bit better, I think. It definitely is longer, well over double the length. I've done enough of these Ebbets Field shows that I'm pretty confident this had to be an early show and a late show, since that was the constant pattern for the venue. But I don't know where the break took place, if that's true. Also, no song was played twice.

These Ebbets Field concerts almost always sound excellent, with few problems, which is a big reason why I'm prioritizing posting them. But there were some flaws with this recording. One is that some songs had missing pieces. For "Come On, Part 1" and "Have You Ever Loved a Woman," I was able to make fixes. That's why those two have "[Edit]" in their titles. But for the song "That's Alright," I couldn't find any live versions of the same song from around the same time to use for a fix. So I had to leave that one incomplete.

The music here is unreleased. 

This album is an hour and 49 minutes long.
