Recording information: Fillmore West (??/??/1970-06/30/1971); Matrix (??/??/1970-06/30/1971). In their native U.S., the Flamin' Groovies achieved cult status at best, but in England they would have been hailed as pub-rock pioneers. This 1971 live recording shows the band in all their gritty, garage-minted glory, covering the classics of blues ("I'm a Man"), R&B ("Walkin' the Dog"), and early rock & roll ("Sweet Little Rock 'n' Roller"), as well as delivering their own roots-rocking gems ("Teenage Head"). Recorded just before frontman Roy Loney departed, IN PERSON is a snapshot of the Groovies in their prime.
Something of an American underground institution, San Francisco's the Flamin' Groovies started out in the mid 1960s as a Stones-tinged throwback to the early days of rock & roll. Although the band had its fans, they were too out of step with the Summer of Love to break through to the mainstream. Though this era would produce one of their two signature songs, "Teenage Head." By the '70s, the band switched up their sound and recast themselves as power-pop songsters. It was during this period that the Flamin Groovies would release their other beloved classic, "Shake Some Action," one of the all-time great power-pop tunes.
