[@ufohead1]

This truly is the essence of Alex Chilton. This is the diamond from the mine. Thank you Ben

my god he covered I will always love you in the 1970s, BEFORE IT WAS COOL-the green mg came out of the body shop today-and I got my last 30 mil of vallum from kevin- that should be added to the lyrics

Never knew they were into the bonzos. Class.

[@DwigtArmyOfChampions]

This is absolute gold. Was this performance ever released commercially?

[@chazrice6467]

This performance is the reason Jody finally quit. Can’t blame him!

[@JFS3]

To go from Chris Bell's obsessive perfection to this was a hell of a rollercoaster ride, wasn't it?

[@thisisnotausername]

Didn't this have that unfortunate novelty song "Riding through the Reich"?

[@dredtory4705]

The only song he seems to give a shit about here is "Jesus Christ". Not sure what that means.

Compare this to the 74 performance where he was trying. He's already not playing what then were classic big star songs. I've now how heard 5 versions of take me home and they're all a disaster. This one sounds like the cheesy organ backs bottom version. ..so now we have a live album from the chaotic period with him rambling between songs he kept speaking Thank You Friends lyrics...creeping on the girl in the green sweater. ...the unrecognizable letter. Destroying the song that made him famous... this is awesome. It verifies the stories of what a screw up he was. I used to think it was somewhat exaggerated. Not that Flies, Bach and Singer Not the Song weren't proof enough
