WEST, BRUCE AND LAING
Live in K-Town 1973 [Oh Boy 1-9062, 1CD]
Live at the Landwirtschaftshalle, Kaiserslautern, Germany; April 14, 1973. Very good audience recording.
West, Bruce and Laing were a blues rock power trio super-group formed in 1972 by Leslie West (guitar and vocals; formerly of Mountain), Jack Bruce (bass, harp, keyboards and vocals; ex-Cream) and Corky Laing (drums and vocals; ex-Mountain). The band released two studio albums, Why Dontcha (1972) and Whatever Turns You On (1973), during their active tenure. Their disbanding was officially announced in early 1974 prior to the release of their third and last album, Live ‘n’ Kickin’. WBL continued to tour North America and Europe extensively during late 1972 and early 1973 in support of Why Dontcha. However, the band’s heavy drug use impacted their performances, and apparently at times even influenced their tour schedule. - wikipedia
