"This is a live concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City recorded in February 1972. The long extended Byrd's tune "Eight Miles High" on side 2 along with their studio album hit "One Fine Morning" are a reason to keep this double vinyl 1972 release. Some of the other long jams are good, as every member gets to jam out live, there's some Jethro Tull like soloing from the flute player and some rocking guitar solos. The band had various vocalists, although Bob McBride, who also plays percussion does most of the vocals and has a very good voice, but there are lots of band members, with horns, flute viola added to the usual rock band instruments. Lighthouse incorporate jazz into their rock songs and the largeness of their band is a good fit for this. There's no "Pretty Lady" live, maybe the best song Lighthouse ever wrote along with "One Fine Morning" and "Sunny Days", because they had not written it yet, that song showed up on the 1974 Can You Feel It album, which I have on vinyl.
Drummer Skip Prokop formed Lighthouse in 1968. The Canadian band released two singles on RCA in 1970 and played at the Newport and Monterey Jazz Festivals and the Isle of Wight Festival, though they had turned down Woodstock."
