Lynyrd Skynyrd Live Cardiff 1975 (CD, Plastic Soho, 2013) *****
My CD version is the single original disc from 1986 which left off a few tracks so I will need to update at some point - T For Texas and Travelin' Man are great songs.
Where do they all belong? Tuesday's Gone and Free Bird are, of course, now forever tinged with real sadness.
Genre: Southern rock
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records; The Warehouse
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Call Me The Breeze (Live Cardiff 1975)
Gear costume: Gimmie Three Steps (One More From The Road)
Active compensatory factors: Tough to pick out a couple of songs to represent One More From the Road as it's a live concert (three concerts combined) with peak after peak and no weak bits.

All my favourites are here: Tuesday's Gone; Gimmie Three Steps; Call Me The Breeze and an 11.30 minute version of Free Bird to end things.
The Live from Cardiff 1975 CD is sourced from a live radio broadcast. Sound quality is superb and the band are all raw power throughout the eight song set. Almost a stand and deliver experience. Top notch and a great addition to any collection.

RIP boys - these albums are a fine legacy. A fine legacy.
