Electric Flag - Small Town Blues - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Electric Flag was one of the premiere rock bands of the 60s, with a line-up of legendary musicians. Led by the virtuoso Mike Bloomfield, the stellar lineup of musicians included Buddy Miles, Nick Gravenites, Barry Goldberg, Elvin Bishop. These live performances were captured at the height of the band's power, in 1967 at the Whisky A Go-Go, LA and 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco. They burned brightly for two years and then egos ripped the group apart. The Whisky performance took place just one week after they opened for Cream at the Fillmore West. The Carousel Ballroom show is comprised of the best performances from the 4 shows they did that night.

Formed by guitarist Mike Bloomfield after quitting the Butterfield Bluesband, the Electric Flag was Bloomfield's idea of a band that would utilise all elements of American music. He enlisted colleagues from other strands of the Chicago music scene, notably Barry Goldberg and Nick Gravenites and a rhythm section consisting of Harvey Brooks and drummer Buddy Miles. But it was the fat horn section that set the band apart presaging as it did both Chicago and Blood Sweat And Tears. These archive live performances include all the original members at the peak of their powers.
