Ambassador Theatre, St Louis, MO; June 5, 1974 Thanks to Cyrus for sharing the show at Dime. Cyrus noted: Mark Doble’s authoritative and comprehensive essay “Burton Through The Boot- legs” has the following to say about this particular recording: “The Live At The Ambassador Theatre bootleg may in fact be the finest bootleg of the Guess Who in existence. Recorded from a stereo FM Broadcast, the recording includes 19 songs, all of the hits as well as some notable gems such as an impromptu rendition of Bobby Darin’s “Artificial Flowers” by Burton while Bill’s bass amp was being repaired. (One wonders if it was opportunities like this that provided Burt with the idea of performing in his UP CLOSE AND ALONE format of the mid-1990s.) The performances on this recording are outstanding. Of particular note are the versions of “Straighten Out”, “Self Pity” and “Orly”, where Burton lets loose as only Burton can. At the conclusion of the broadcast, the announcer played back a short a cappella excerpt of the “Leave It To Beaver” television theme sung by Burton and the boys in the studio the previous day. Overall, the sound quality of this bootleg is spectacular. If there is a “Must Have” in the collection of Guess Who bootlegs, this is it! This show was also one of the last concerts the Guess Who would play with Kurt Winter and Donnie McDougall in the lineup. The pressures between the folks had been boiling over for a while now, and they would shortly depart from the band to be replaced by guitarist extraordinaire Domenic Troiano...” - Info thanks to “rocksteady1” + + + + + Lineage: KSHE FM Radio Broadcast > ? > CDR > EAC Secure > FLAC Frontend 8 MP3 Version Disc 1 Disc 2 01.
