Bad Company/CA,USA 08.02.1974

As a memorial item for Mick Ralphs, who died at the age of 81 in June 2025, a live performance in Santa Barbara on August 2nd during the North American tour immediately after the 1974 debut album was recorded for 55 minutes from the recently released newly excavated audience master. This is a valuable live performance capturing the first US tour, so in addition to the six songs from the first album, the single B-side, “Deal With The Preacher” which will be included in the next second album, Freddie King’s “Palace Of The King” which was only played on this tour, and Free’s “The Stealer”, etc., this early debut set is just too rare.
