Jack Bruce Live In America (Vinyl and CD, Let them eat vinyl/The store for music, 2007) ****
Genre: Blues rock
Places I remember: Vinyl copy from Amoeba Music San Francisco. CD copy The Warehouse.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Hit And Run
Gear costume: Born Under A Bad Sign (this version features Rory Gallagher on guitar)
Active compensatory factors: A great band on this set as Billy Cobham (drums), David Sancious (keyboards) and Clem Clempson (guitar) join the GOAT on bass - Jack Bruce.

The set list takes in some hits (White Room, Politician, Theme for an Imaginary Western) and some deep cuts.
The band is tight/loose (these guys just lean and produce). Loads of impromptu improvisation makes this feel like jazz.
The packaging of both is terrible though - it makes it feel like an upmarket bootleg. Because of the different covers I mistakenly bought the vinyl version without realising I had the CD at home. Doh!
It actually plays better as a CD - as it provides a natural flow without the need to get up to flip sides (double album, single CD).
Where do they all belong? A few more CDs to come in the Jack Bruce collection.
