Originally released as a double LP set, RECORDED LIVE was a response to the proliferation of bootlegs of the band`s concerts. It was to be as faithful a representation of the band`s onstage firepower as possible. In this regard, it succeeds; it`s better recorded than their breakthrough UNDEAD, and the performances are generally stronger.
The highpoint is the jazzy, nearly 16-minute assault on "I Can`t Keep From Crying." (Historical note: On the Blues Project`s REUNION IN CENTRAL PARK album, also released in 1973, Al Kooper, who wrote the song, tells the audience that Ten Years After`s version paid for his new car that year). There are also enthusiastic run-throughs of the band`s best known numbers, including their salacious take on "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" and (of course) their Woodstock showstopper "I`m Going Home."
