Only problem with this clip is it promises "full concert."
Only show ever to feature Berry Oakley and Chuck Leavell, playing his first show:
Chuck discussed the show quite a bit in One Way Out.
Also features an early and cool version of Ramblin' Man.
There is some debate about whether or not Berry was turning a corner at the time of his death after being in such bad shape following Duane Allman's death. This is 9 days prior and I think he looks good and plays his ass off.
Chuck clearly not worke din and yet and just sort of playing along, but...

It's doubly cool because of, (A) the quality...(B) This is the best version of this show that includes "One Way Out" w/o the digital numbers that appeared on this almost impossible part of the show to locate for the longest time.

Chuck's solo on Whippin Post (13:10) certainly brings (brought) something different to the song. I love the sound of a Rhodes! I think he plays some fine stuff here.

Thanks for posting this Vic. I've waired 42 years to see this all together and without the time code. It brings back a lot of mrmories of seeing it for the first time after Oakley passed.

It does not show it, but Butch grabs Berry arm has he starts playing Whipping Post. I make you think out bad Berry really was during that concert.
