at Fillmore West in San Francisco.

I had never heard of Buddy Rich but was my 2nd taste of Alvin Lee.

Buddy Rich must have been OK with rock and roll. Wonder what he thought about the light show?

The recordings made on the tour bus, where he's insanely raving about the band's supposedly poor performance. Google "Buddy Rich Tapes" if you want to hear some reputation-ending abuse.
