Flat out horrifying. 50 years later, over a thousand listening, still knocks me on my ass as much as when I first hear it. Maybe more. These effin guys. Yeoooww!
You had to grow up in the 70's to really understand how cool this music was compared to all the other top 40 shit that was being played at that time. If you ever went to Santana concert TOP always opened for them!!!
Kind of funny that the picture on the album cover is the direction toward San Francisco, but it makes sense when I think about it because the lower level of the bridge that heads toward Oakland, would not make an attractive photograph. Great album though.
No, that is looking towards Oakland, from downtown SF. You can see the gently inclining cantilever portion of the bridge in the background which is closest to Oakland (and unfortunately this is the portion of the bridge which failed during the Loma Prieta Earthquake).

I'll take the "Top 40 Shit" of the 70's ANYTIME over the unmitigated bullshit that barely passes for a "waste of time" in the NOW!

Maybe it's back to Oakland like your back to Oakland looking out towards SF

Working those pedals like a fiend.
And they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But FN Abba is.
That's because this is "Funkafide, testafide, pure SOUL music" brother
BTW saw ABBA when I was 13. They were not all that bad. Next concert was KISS lol
That's because of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is truly without a doubt a d*** joke....
Lenny Pickett was like 19 here....
