KOOPER'S HORNS

I would be amiss if I did not mention "the other group" that emerged from the Blues Project.
Al Kooper wanted to add horns to the Blues Project but he was met with great resistance by the other members of the band(especially Kalb) So Kooper and Steve Katz departed and formed Blood, Sweat and Tears. Their first LP is outstanding but Kooper was fired from the band and from that point on the music took another direction for BST. In my opinion it went downhill but who am I to say because they went on to enjoy enormous commercial success. This one is supposedly the only known live recording Of Blood,Sweat & Tears with Al Kooper as a member
Thanks to the original uploader for this one and it is rather rare. So much for BST.

Anonymous said...: Thanks! This really is a rarity. I also lost interest after Al left or was fired. He supposedly turned down a copy of this show. The Blues Project show @ The Matrix is also great and sounds great.; February 23, 2011 at 7:47 PM
Anonymous said...: The song list suggests to me that David Clayton Thomas is the vocalist on this and not Al Kooper.; April 2, 2011 at 11:30 PM
