Deanna,

It's a bootleg from 1975, so it's a year before Romantic Warrior. It's

got cuts from No Mystery and Music Magic on it. It's been a while

since I listened to Romantic Warrior, but the live recording is still

fusion, and it's live, which is always better than studio for jazz and

blues recordings, IMO.

BTW, I see on Amazon that you can get No Mystery and Romantic Warrior

for like $20--not bad!
