Regarded by fans as a classic lost performance, this shelved live set recorded in support of a Free show runs to seven tracks, bolstered by a handful of cuts from Stockholm in 1971. ‘Fairfield Halls, Live 1970’ captures the full concert, from the tumultuous opening "Ohio," all ragged guitars and Verden Allen's foreboding organ, through a dynamite "Rock and Roll Queen" and three slabs from the then-forthcoming ‘Mad Shadows’, and on to the closing oldies, "Keep a Knockin'" and "You Really Got Me." Five tracks recorded five months later in Sweden repeat "Thunderbuck Ram" but do add "Walkin' with a Mountain," "Laugh at Me," and "The Original Mixed-Up Kid" to the brew, plus a volcanic cover of Mountain's "Long Red" that will leave you reeling. As if the rest of the disc hasn't already battered you hard enough.
