The lineup for the show captured on this release was the classic Groovies core of Cyril Jordan, George Alexander, and Chris Wilson. It was recorded in October 1980 just as the band’s contract with Sire Records expired, introducing an element of uncertainty into the band’s future. The12-track set list from this San Francisco show features their classic takes on the Beatles, Stones, Byrds and some classic rock numbers.
This recording hasn’t ever been available in any format and will be pressed on limited-edition colored vinyl exclusive for RSD Black Friday.
