In the late 60s of and early 70s, Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett played a vibrant, country-tinged blues-rock that also owed a heavy debt to gritty Memphis R&B (it is no coincidence that their first album was released on Stax Records). And while their singing and playing were consistently top-notch, their profile was not weakened by their association with Eric Clapton, who toured with them between his stint in Blind Faith and the formation of Derek and the Dominos. In fact, when considering Claptons musical evolution, it seems clear that the rootsy, downhome vibe of Delaney & Bonnie was a direct influence on the direction of his solo career. This excellent live set showcases Delaney & Bonnies superb vocal performances (note Bonnies gospel-drenched take on "Thats What My Man Is For"), and Claptons superior playing. Whether on driving, Stax-style soul ("Things Get Better") or good old rock & roll (on the fierce, extended Little Richard medley), band (which consists of some of the finest musicians of the day, many of whom went on to play with Clapton and other luminaries throughout the 70s) tears it up. But while the set teems with advanced musicianship, overall vibe is one of straightforward fun and good times.
