This recording captures the live performance by Beck, Bogert & Appice (BBA) at Hofstra University in New York on October 28, 1972, during their US tour. Although this leg of the tour followed an initial run in Europe, the band had already been on the road for a month, resulting in a performance of exceptional polish and cohesion. The high energy shared by the three musicians really shines through in this recording. Jeff Beck delivers a steady performance while appearing completely relaxed; Tim Bogert displays an incredible sense of groove, and Carmine Appice’s precise drumming is full of power. It is a live recording that hints at the legendary status the band would achieve, despite their short lifespan. Regarding sound quality: although it is an audience recording, the mix is well-balanced and clear, making for a consistently enjoyable listening experience.
