In stockThe Story
Recorded live at New York's Fillmore East in 1969, this album marks a pivotal shift in John Mayall's career from electric blues to an all-acoustic sound. Featuring guitarist Jon Mark and saxophonist Johnny Almond, the album blends blues, folk, and jazz with highlights like the pro-pot anthem 'The Laws Must Change' and the frenetic concert staple 'Room to Move'.
