Les McCann & Eddie Harris LIVE at Montreux - "Compared To What" - stereo

[jmylestoones]

Used to listen to this with my best friend..... over and over again. Then we would walk around singin it all night long. What a jam and what a song.

[MyRollerskater]

Can any till me the name of the song he song about his Daughter, I believe the name was Let Him Go? I go way back with the two of them. Thinks

I saw Les in 1972 at the Twin Flame in Tucson Az. He was at the club for 6 nights and my friends and I saw him on the last night and the club was packed wall to wall. It was that way every night. It was a great show.

I first heard this song in 1968 or so. I loved it then and it still does something to me today. It is the perfict protest song. I listened to it so much I had all the verses memorized by heart. Thank you. Love your show.

[SuperCartiel]

Just as I remember it. Thanks!

I was lucky enough to see Les in Houston at the late La Bastille club in about '72. It sounded just like this, and what a great venue, in the basement of the oldest building in Houston.

[scutfargus]

@DooderMcAltair I am surprised not to see Illusionary Dreams or Set Us Free on YouTube; I believe those are his greatest works.
