A double live album from 1974 that I bought around that time. It’s a good one with songs from their last their records but nothing from their first two. The first song is an instrumental “The Coming Of Kohoutek” with a lot of soloing by Rod Argent. It is followed by “It’s Only Money”(parts 1 and 2). Side two opens with the Russ Ballard song “God Gave Rock and Roll To You” which was later covered by Kiss. “Thunder And Lightning” and “Music From The Spheres” are from the Nexus album that I used to have on 8-track tape. Side three starts with “I Don’t Believe In Miracles” a song Ballard wrote for Colin Blunstone, the former singer of The Zombies. “I Am The Dance Of Ages” from All Together Now is extended with more soloing by Argent. The 50’s style rocker “Keep On Rollin'” allows Ballard to play some guitar. Their hit “Hold Your Head Up” is on side four and the record closes with The Zombies hit “Time Of The Season” written by Argent. Though I bought this record in 1974 I did not have it long. In 1979 my good friend joined the Air Force and I told him he could take any three of my records with him when he went. This is one he picked as well as E.L.P.’s three record live set and another two record set I can’t remember. He was no Fool! I eventually bought this used one for $10 dollars at Record Connection in Ephrata in the early 90’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
