Same as two other albums?.......2004-09-20

While I haven't heard this particular release, the song titles and the other review make it almost certain to be the same recordings that are on both "Small Town Blues" and "Groovin' Is Easy." As the other reviewer said a little more pointedly, not the best way to appreciate the Electric Flag. "A Long Time Comin'" is definitely a great album, especially for Mike Bloomfield fans like myself.

flag flying at half mast.......2004-04-12

I am a big Flag and Bloomfield fan, so imagine my disappointment when I bought and listened to this piece of garbage. Sound quality is poor to fair, and the band sounds like it phoned in their performance, much like the show I saw during their reunion tour in the mid-70s.
For a glimpse of this band firing on all cylinders, check out the Monterey Pop DVD or Best of the Flag, which has 2 bonus live tracks from Monterey.
