Hey, sport.

Spend a couple of bucks.

These performers aren’t getting any younger, you know, and they don’t hand out Geritol for free.

Zappa “One Size Fits All” Is a live album with Capt. Beefheart. Absolutely great! I saw that tour.

I’m surprised noone mentioned Deep Purple and Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

The James Gang put out 2 LP’s with Tommy Bolin on guitar. Anything with Tommy Bolin is great. He was with Deep purple for a time also on their “Come Taste The Band” album.

Obscure and hard to find is the Cactus self titled album. One of my favorite pure kick ass rock albums of the decade and it came out in 1970! Anyone remember them?

Most of my recommendations have been mentioned, but I’d like to throw in Camel.

I’m closing this thread since the apparent motive of the OP is to download copyrighted material.
