A.K.A. On The Killing Floor
Stockholm, Sweden is the setting for Konserthuset 1/9/69. The Experience seemed to spend a lot of time touring the Scandinavian countries, often playing tracks not played elsewhere.
None this time though, these tracks were played to most audiences. This is a copy of the 2 CD set On The Killing Floor; a Swingin' Pig (geez, who came up with that name??) release.
Although the book Electric Gypsy calls the first show (CD 1) a disaster, I disagree. They however say the second show (CD 2) is probably one of the Experience's best performances ever captured.
I personally feel it's a better show than the first, but not one of the best. Guess it's just a matter of personal preferences. They are both good shows in my opinion though.
I believe these 2 shows were recorded professionally for Swedish radio or TV, and the sound quality is excellent. Black and white video of the first show apparently exists, though I haven't seen it myself.
All in all, a very nice 2 CD set for your collection.
