The Meters - Live At Great American Music Hall, San Francisco (RSD 2025, 2LP Mardi Gras Colored Vinyl)

Live At Great American Music Hall, San Francisco is the classic double live album that The Meters always deserved but have never had…until now. Recorded in 1975 when the classic lineup of Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr., Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste and new arrival Cyril Neville was at the peak of its powers, the live set draws heavily on the band’s then-most recent album Rejuvenation and previews its successor, Fire On The Bayou – commonly regarded by fans and critics alike as The Meters’ two best albums. Yet Live At Great American Music Hall, San Francisco digs in even deeper, extending the jams close to 20 minutes with the band absolutely burning across this nine-song set. Several selections from this show appeared on a mysterious, unauthorized and highly coveted 1981 bootleg LP titled The Meters At Rozy’s. Live At Great American Music Hall, San Francisco presents the full set, properly sequenced and mastered, for its first official release. Pressed on Mardi Gras colored vinyl.
