Cactus /MD,USA 1971

This is a nearly complete recording of the New Year’s Eve live performance at Owings Mills, Maryland on December 31st, from the 1971 US tour, which can be said to be the peak of the Original Cactus, from the good audience master at the time. It is a valuable piece that captures the incredible performance of R&R standards and boogie numbers with heavy and dynamic performances, and the spectacular interplay, improvisation, and heavy groove filled with overwhelming power will give you goosebumps. And the highlight is the heavy hard rock sound reminiscent of Zeppelin, centered around the strong rhythm section of Tim Bogard and Carmine Appice, which is a must-listen item for fans. DISC 1 : 01.
