Review:
This is a live album by Frisian rock band Pugh's Place. Surprisingly it contains solely tracks that weren't released as a studio recording, that is on their one and only studio "West One" from 1969. The music on this album is rather heavy, with plenty guitar and flute solos. Also the vibes, played by Kalmagive this release a very distinct sound. As said, the music is heavy rock. The progressive parts come from the instrumental breaks. This can typically be said from the first song on the album, the second has a Jethro Tull falvor over it, mainly of course due to the flute solo. The third track starts rather lovely, but then evolves into a driving rhythm with extensive solos for guitar and flute. Great track. "Flying so high" is a beautiful melodic track and another highlight of the album. The closer, "After death" is the longest track on the album, and that usually means the highlight of the album. That principle goes here too. It is a dynamic track with lots of room for improvisations. All in all a good album. Musically it doesn't differ much from the studio album, albeit a bit more heavy and aggressive.
(Dutch progressive rock of the nineteen seventies)
When the album is pressed the record sleeve isn't ready. Universe Records provides people with a test sleeve which they can trade against the original cover as soon as it's available.Imagine having a copy with both the original and the substitute sleeve!!!!
After the band disbanded Nanne Kalma played in a band called Farmer's Union and Hans Kerkhoven and George Snijder went to a band called Ramses. Jan van der Heide became a dentist! In 1975 Kalma and Kerkhoven teamed up in the folkrock group Irolt. For the past few years Kerkhoven played in the band Kalis and Om 'e Noard.
