This is an interesting bootleg, the band was on fire during this show. Great version of Can't Find My Way Home and of Crossroads.

This album is part of the italian series made by Armando Curcio Editore.
This album as been digitally remastered in 1991, it has a fine cover, fine audio quality for the time.
Due to its rarity and good quality, this disc is recommended. These bootlegs offer an excellent image of the various bands, in some cases, better than the official material of the time. Please note that many of these bootlegs and songs have been released officially in different moments:

Blind Faith
Blind Faith were an English supergroup featuring Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Ric Grech. The band was eagerly anticipated by the music press as a continuation of Clapton and Baker's former group Cream and Winwood's former group Traffic, but they split after one album and tour.

The group originated with informal jamming by Clapton and Winwood in early 1969 following the break-up of Cream and Traffic. Baker joined them in rehearsals and they decided to form a group. Grech joined as the fourth member from the band Family in May, and they began recording their debut album.

It drew controversy for featuring a photograph of a naked prepubescent girl on the front cover, and it was banned in the United States. They played their debut concert on 7 June in front of an estimated 100,000 fans in Hyde Park, London, but they felt that they had not rehearsed enough and were unprepared. They continued to tour Scandinavia and the US, but the lack of material in the live set led them to play old Cream and Traffic songs which pleased the audience but disillusioned the band. Clapton became increasingly isolated during the tour, preferring to spend time with support act Delaney & Bonnie, and they split up immediately after the last performance.

Clapton and Winwood both enjoyed the music that they played together in the group's limited time, and they have since collaborated on several tours playing Blind Faith material.
