Details
[Edit]Sure, there are only five songs on this outstanding gathering of live Groundhogs songs, but don’t let that fool you: this live album plays for more than 50 minutes. The exact origin of these recordings is a mystery. One camp claims they were culled from a 1972 show somewhere in Texas when the band opened for Humble Pie and Edgar Winter. Yet guitarist/singer Tony McPhee has purportedly said that tapes from that tour never surfaced and that he doubted their existence. Another camp of Groundhogs fans swear that these recordings were pilfered from a BBC session tracked in 1971 before being repackaged with cover art reading otherwise. Either way, “Mistreated” opens with thrusting blues-rock bravado before breaking down and rebuilding into the sort of rhythm-heavy acid rock that would've fit well on a tour with Grand Funk Railroad. Distorted guitars rip through subtle layers of tape hiss on a triumphant 10-minute take on “Split Part One” before a jammed-out rendition of “Cherry Red” blasts off as though McPhee was wearing Hendrix’s legendary lysergic-dosed headband.
