Title: A good find for Beck and/or Cactus-Vanilla Fudge fans
Review: My vinyl copy of this (in excellent condition) sounds great. It's well recorded, with minimized audience sound. Beck displays his signature guitar work over the rockin' rhythm section of Appice and Bogart. They had been playing together as Vanilla Fudge, and then as Cactus for years before joining up with Beck finally, after he recovered from injuries from a car wreck. If you haven't heard the two Cactus "Live and Unleashed" double -CD`s, seek them out immediately. I think Rhino has some of Vol. 2 left. That band rocked!Beck is understated here, but does some nice work. There is use of the dreaded "squawk box", but it is a more understated use of it, compared to say.... Peter Frampton or Joe Walsh. His sound as always is wonderful.Tim and Carmine's vocals are very much like their soulful Vanilla Fudge sound. This is of it's time, but a nice find if you can find it at the right price, for the enthusiast of this era, and of these artists.
