Wonderful live helping of Richie Havens doing some of his most evocative songs ever. His patter is great too. Easily a four star album, dunno why AM gave it so few, probably just the automatic bias against live discs. If you dig Richie Havens, you absolutely should acquire this superb work.
The album features two concerts from Richie's early-'70s peak; in fact, this performance at the Cellar Door is the one from which his hit recording of Here Comes the Sun was taken! And the Santa Monica show was taped by remote recording whiz Wally Heider, so EXCELLENT sound. Also includes Fire and Rain; God Bless the Child; All Along the Watchtower; No More, No More; Dolphins, and more.
Highly recommended.

Thank you for this, Sir Zero. Appreciate this artist very much. Would love someday to find Havens 'At Carnegie' album and Melanie Safka 'At Carnegie' in splendid form.
Bless...
You are welcome. Sadly these Carnegie albums are not on my hard drive. All the best!
