Bob " The Bear "Hite -vocals Al " Blind Owl " Wilson- guitar /vocals/harmonica Adolpho"Fito "De la Parra-drums. Henry Vestine - lead guitar. Tony de la Barreda. -bass. This was the last line-up featuring the late great Al Wilson , I did not see the performance at Bath , but caught the band at Leicester after Al had died. Bob Hite was a monster on-stage , he could really work a crowd to fever pitch , I clearly remember the stage bouncing up and down at Leicester as he boogied frantically around the stage , I kept on thinking he might go through it ! A great shame the Bear checked out so young, loss of a great blues shouter and stage personality. The good die young, its not fair! Apparently the Heat came on really early in the Sunday morning, so most people missed them , just like I did. The tape I have heard of this show is mostly very listenable, theres some minor vocal distortion , but most of the songs are clear and the playing is very good, especially considering how stoned the band were ( something they mention frequently) . |

The
taper attributes the relatively decent sound to the fact that most people near
him were asleep and lying down ,plus there was no wind, so his mic could pick
up better then many of the other sets he recorded during the weekend. This was
one of the longer sets of the festival, clocking in at just over 90 minutes.
The 8mm footage of the bands onstage only lasts about 15
seconds or so, but on it you can see Bob Hite jumping as usual , testing out
the strength of the stage floorboards !
