Robert Gordon, Link Wray & the Wildcats

Live At Rockpalast 1978  

(Made In Germany Music)



Straight from the fridge: The audio transmission of this June 8, 1978 Rockpalast television broadcast was previously released by Growling Guitar as the second CD in its 2018 set, The Last Tour. The Voice and The Guitar were a dynamic pairing that jolted vintage Cat Spirit with the crisp animation demanded in the boisterous seventies. Joining them were phenomenal bassist/backing singer Rob Stoner and ace drummer Anton Fig. The rock-ribbed foursome's world-spanning preeminence was such that one speculates countless combos today echo their lessons. 

Recommended: "Rock Therapy," "The Way I Walk," "Mystery Train," "Lonesome Train (On a Lonesome Track)," "I Sure Miss You," "Rumble," "Baby, What You Want Me To Do," "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care," "The Fool," "Baby Let's Play House," "I Got a Woman," "Sea Cruise," "Red Hot," "Flyin' Saucer Rock'n'Roll" (rehearsal version #1)
