Sam and Dave - Germany 1967 - Wow

In the mid to late 60's, you'd be hard pressed to find a more exciting live act than Sam & Dave. There's a reason words like incomparable were often used when describing them. With some help from some incredible backing bands (including the folks at Stax) they were capable of really blowing the roof off of whatever building they happened to be in. Here's a fantastic show recorded live in Offenbach, Germany, 1967. Typical of the review-style shows of the time, it's unbelievably joyous. These kind of live shows just don't exist anymore. The show also features guests including Linda Carr, Arthur Conley, and Lee Dorsey playing some tunes backed by the Sam & Dave orchestra. They're worth watching too. 12 tunes in all and completely worth the time.

01. Linda Carr -- You Can't Hurry Love
02. Lee Dorsey -- Get Out Of My Life, Woman
03. Lee Dorsey -- Ride Your Pony
04. The Sam & Dave Orchestra -- Secret Agent Man
05. Sam & Dave -- You Don't Know (Like I Know)
06. Sam & Dave -- Soul Man
07. Linda Carr -- You Send Me
08. Arthur Conley -- A Whole Lotta Woman
09. Arthur Conley -- Sweet Soul Music
10. The Sam & Dave Orchestra -- If You Give Up What You Got (See What You Lost)
11. Sam & Dave -- When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
12. Sam & Dave -- Hold On, I'm Comin'
