This is a reseed of Return to Forever in Stockholm 1972 recorded about a month before they waxed the "Light As A Feather" lp. The band is without vocalist Flora Purim but includes "Noon Song" not released with this lineup, and a great improv intro to "Matrix". The show originates from a FM Broadcast and the sound is so nice as The Tooleman performed his magic. My introduction to (and favorite era of) Return to Forever, I could listen to these guys play all day! Many thanks to the original recordist and seeders who have kept this rare one around for decades, and as always your comments are appreciated!
