Hot Tuna "S/T"

This is their lp on RCA recorded live at the New Orleans House, Berkeley.

This my friends is an absolute reference recording! It's so good, that in fact, I have an early "light weight" pressing and a later heavy pressing, they both SHINE!

There is not one other lp in my collection that totally breaks free of my speakers and actually starts to "wrap around" the side walls.

If you don't have it, seek it out. It will be well worth it!

I have had the CD version of this for many years and still listen to it on a regular basis. The sound is good, but it is somewhat marred by tape hiss. Great music though.

It's all good. Seeing them live in January with Leon Russell.

"Blue Country Heart" by Jorma Kaukonen is great bluegrass music. I bought the SACD as I remember him from the Airplane's early days. Getting it was an impulse, but now it has steady rotation at my house.

Another LP to watch out for if you don't already have it is "Hot Tuna- Final Vinyl" on the Grunt label. Mine has the Kendun mastering mark on the run out, and as many of you know, some feel the Kendun mastered Rumors by Fleetwood Mac is the one to have. Songs include "Hesitation Blues", "Hot Jelly Roll Blues", and "Candy Man".

One of my favorites. I did not like like the original transfer to CD at all. Same can be said for Blows Against the Empire and Manhole.
My friend just brought over a CD from that same show titled live at the Berkeley House. This has tracks not heard on the first album. A lot of songs that ended up on the Burgers album are here. This CD has an excellent mix. Clean as heck. I would like to see this show complete in a box set.
