Pure Prairie League has never been an attraction to draw packed houses and by the sounds on this tworecord set, the audiences weren't very large. The set was recorded earlier this year at various concert stops throughout the Midwest and New York. The group has always been rather obscure, continually combining country-western and bluegrass with soft rock.
