They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4
Active compensatory factors: The super session idea yielded a classic featuring Al, Michael and Stephen Stills (although I don't have a copy) and this sequel - which I bought largely for the cover by Norman Rockwell.

It's a double album recorded live at the Fillmore West over three nights. It's a good example of blues rock sixties style with a whole slew of cover songs, and jam style workouts.
Michael Bloomfield only appears on sides 1 and 2, Carlos and Elvin Bishop play on sides 3 and 4. The various guitar styles are a strong appeal.
Where do they all belong? I'd certainly grab a copy of the previous Super Session if I come across it - not making a special effort though.
That's it for the Ks. Onto L next.
