Baker, Ginger/Airforce - Live 1970 DVD
SKU
21-HST 035
Quite a shocking thing to see emerge 40 years later. This is the fairly short-lived, African/jazz-influenced follow-up group that Ginger had after Cream and Blind Faith. Recorded for Beat Club, like the great Weather Report release, this features the entire studio TV performance that's over 50' long, not just the small portion that was shown on TV. Excellent quality release!
"This studio date was the only one played by the band in October 1970 and would be the final concert in Germany for the Airforce band before they split. The performance captured by the cameras features Sunshine Of Your Love both as part of an extended jam which included Early In The Morning a featured track from the first Airforce album and also later in the set as a stand alone performance and 12 Gates Of The City a Graham Bond composition which featured on the second Airforce album. The total running time of this performance is over fifty minutes and for transmission on the 20th October 1970 the decision was made to edit the performance and therefore the great majority of this historic and rare television appearance has remained in the vaults. Ginger Baker remains a hugely influential artist and as such commands a massive fan base most of whom will be interested in this rarely seen archive performance."
