This album marked a change for Mayall, his now Bluesbreaker-less career gave him a chance to do what is known as low volume music. The record is recorded live at the Fillmore East in 1969, I wonder if the crowd was expecting mellow Blues, or if they anticipated a Bluesed out Psychedelic rave up. Personally I loved it, I found this record to be a great innovation in 60's Blues music, I also found it refreshing that they added elements of Cool Jazz Saxing it's way through the music, resulting in Cool Ambient Blues -- just skip the closing track!
