Enjoy this incredible rare piece of
Canned Heat History!!
This earliest Canned Heat live tape I found yet, was
recorded in an unknown club and feature the original
Canned Heat w/Frank Cook on Drums! Again the song-
list here include some tracks not available from any
other known Canned Heat recording! Those of you who
downloaded in June my Canned Heat compilation
"Tracks" already have nearly half of the tracks here,
but these tracks were remastered in a different way
from my own tape & here's the complete performance,
from a different source!
CANNED HEAT's Club performance here is kind of rough
and unpolished, but full of "Heat" and some tracks
here are standing clearly in the tradition of the
great "Blues Shouters" as Howlin Wolf or Big Joe
Turner! The general quality is great, but on some
tracks the Bear's vocals are quite oversaturated!
I did my best to polish this & also used the better
channel (with less dropouts) of this mono sbd
recording! MP3 sample below!

This is the version of the band that I knew back in the day. They played frequently at the old Ash Grove in L.A., a folk-blues club that was close enough to my house that I could go to shows on foot (I was 16 and 17 in those days, and had no car.) It's the same lineup that opened the Saturday show at the Monterey Pop Festival, but changed shortly thereafter when Frank Cook left. So glad to find this!
Thanks! Gotta be one of the earliest show around.
:) yeah I thought this was a great find and sound is quite good considering its from the 60ies!
Oh man, this is good. Raw, psychedelic blues. So gad to have found this, thanks!
