Wow! Recorded Live In Performance At The Childe Harold is a stunning, powerful and passionate performance by the legendary singer and songwriter Al Jarreau, captured at his first appearance in Washington, D.C. in August of 1976. Previously unreleased and originally recorded for WHFS radio in Washington, D.C., the tape remained tucked away for nearly 50 years until now.

Interested. Al and I were friends back in the early '60s at the University of Iowa. We used to hang at jams and clubs. I was happy to see his success.

That definitely looks interesting. I enjoyed his early years recordings.

Listening to it now (streamed from Qobuz). It's a fun set.  Some great beatboxing!

Both song selections and he sounded a bit repetitious at various points. It wasn't bad, just felt predictable.
