Live, Rare and Raw is a collection of live recordings by the Climax Blues Band in the 1970s. It was released in October or November 2014 depending on the format and region.
What we have are:
- Marquee Club London 1973
- Live in New Jersey 1974
- Live in Guildford 1976
- Live from Miami 1979
These are all on separate CDs. When I get it on mp3 I’m planning to store it as four separate concerts.
I’m not exactly sure of the band make-up at these different concerts because CBB made frequent changes. However the main band consisted of:
Colin Cooper – vocals, saxophone, harmonica, guitar
Pete Haycock – vocals, guitar, bass
Derek Holt – bass, guitar, keyboards
John Cuffley – drums
Peter Filleul played keyboard for much of the time but he left in 1973 and returned in 1975. In between Richard Jones, one of the original band members returned to play keyboards and bass. If the recording at the Marquee was very early in 1973, George Newsome may have been the drummer.
