Undercover
Recorded during the 1974 US tour - lun - nun - SB6 (last concert on CD4 is AUD)
EC / Carl Radle (Bass) / George Terry (Guitar) / Jamie Oldaker (Drums) /
Dick Sims (Keyboards) / Yvonne Elliman (Vocals)
Disc 1: EC is very "loose" (ie,
"drunk"), especially on vocals. On 'Let ir Rain', the band gets into a nice
funky vamp at the end. EC quips "mind if I have a drink?" (we think you already
had a few too many, Eric!). EC mangles the vocals for 'Key to the Highway' and
then, annoyed, sings "when I leave this time, it's the fucking last time !". The
band, at least, is agreeably tight, and segues loosely from one track to another
beginning with 'Willie and the Hand Jive' all the way through to 'Badge'.
Freddie King joins the band for both 'Have You Ever Loved a Woman' and 'Little
Queenie'.
Disc 2: EC begins the concert quite annoyed ... understandably so: "I
want the guy to who threw the beer bottle to know that he hurt one of my people
... so don't throw things, you've hurt one of us already ...". After the opener
of 'Smile', the band goes into a vamp similar to "Singin' the Blues" while EC
sings "you don't have to hurt somebody", then calling out "slow blues ... same
key", and sliding into "I Loved a Woman". In "Get Ready", Yvonne Elliman gets in
a dig of her own, singing "throwing your fucking bottles!!!".
Disc 3: "Layla .... you BITCH !!!!". During "Little Queenie", "... stop
the bombs ... NO MORE WAR !!!".
Disc 4: EC is joined by Pete Townshend and Keith Moon for "Baby Don't You
Do It" and "Little Queenie". Rounding out Disc 4 is an audience recording of the
July 7, 1974 show at Roosevelt Stadium, New Jersey which rounds out numbers not
included in the soundboard version. Freddie King guests on this as well.
