America - Live At Goodbye Summer Festival 1972 - [Vinyl]

Recorded 18th September 1971 at The Goodbye Summer Festival, The Oval London, which might seem an unlikely venue for a rock concert, however at that time, the home of Surrey Cricket was on the verge of bankruptcy and looking for alternative income promoter Rikki Farr was on the lookout for a large outdoor venue to help raise funds for the humanitarian crisis in Bangladesh.The Oval, close to the city centre and with a capacity of 31,000, was the ideal venue. America's infectious folky acoustic songs were ideal fodder for a festival, however they were largely unheard of in '71. Their self-titled debut was released earlier that year, however "Horse With No Name" wasn't on it and in fact was released later in November '71.The line-up that day was:11:00-11:30 Cochise11:45-12:30 Greaseband12:45-01:30 Lindisfarne01:45-02:30 Quintessence02:45-03:30 Mott The Hoople03:45-04:15 America04:20-04:45 Eugene Wallis04:50-05:45 Atomic Rooster06:00-07:00 The Faces07:45-09:25 The WhoReleased for the first time on collectible 12" 45 RPM vinyl with a CD version and comprehensive sleeve notes.Official release approved by the Artist.
