A Troubled Ending
March 27, 1970 saw Phil holding forth at Carnegie HallConcert Poster . It was an evening like no other. Briefly: gold lame suit-oldies-bomb threat-exvacuation-angry crowd-angry Phil-cut hand-second show late-voice shot-power cut-Phil & crowd react-Times reviewNY Times Review, 4/3/70
Reprinted on album back. Read more here .
The show was recorded and Phil insisted they release it. A&M said no, later relenting. Later as in four years later and only in Canada (& Japan). Most of the tracks are from the first show, with the power cut part pasted onto the end of the Elvis medley. There were lots more songs, complete with Phil's unique repartee. The complete second show is at archive.org .
It would be Phil's last album. He had become so disillusioned since the Democratic Convention, he thought mixing the songs that were inspirational to him would help us understand better. They booed. Phil didn't take the reaction very well and started his downward spiral. Too talented—too bright—too passionate.

Billboard magazine's FM Action Picks (3/30/74) shows CHUM (Toronto) adding this album, thus finalizing the release date.
