This 55-minute recording of a live performance in Santa Barbara on August 2nd from the North American tour immediately following the release of their debut album, Santa Barbara, was recently released as a tribute to Mick Ralphs, who passed away in June 2025 at the age of 81. This rare live performance captures their first US tour, and includes six tracks from their first album, single B-sides, “Deal With The Preacher,” which will appear on their second album, Freddie King’s “Palace Of The King,” which was only performed on this tour, and Free’s “The Stealer.” This early debut set is incredibly rare.
