elektra1984 - Could just be mainly due to the low quality audio. Sounds like it was recorded onto a rotating candle from a vibrating tin can with a nail stuck in it.
I absolutely love 'I Am the One You Warned Me of', nut that was from Albert Bouchard's Imaginos project after he went away from the band. I'd love to see this and 'The Siege and Investiture...' (along with Joe Satriani) done live, but that will probably never happen.
This version sounds tortured by comparison to the OYFOOYK. Too bad, this is a cult immortal.
Know exactly what you're saying brother. I just didn't want to say it first. To see & hear performances of Eric of the past & now just kills me. Eric's performance of this song on OYFOOYK(1975) is stellar. Oh how I wish we could hear the Eric of past doing "Astronomy" these days. Hopefully someone has a video of something like that out there. The "Live 1976" DVD is truly a disappointment in sound quality, although all the songs are there. Yes, immortal...
I saw them that year in El Paso along with Steppenwolf. Plus other modern bands.

Is it Allen Lanier on keys? I can't make it out.

what a song...the subhuman from OYFOOYK is probably my alltime favourite track with smoking melodic solos from the underrated Buck Dharma.
