Live at the Garden: Expanded Edition

Smack in the middle of James Brown's extensive catalog is a nearly forgotten release from May 1967: Live at the Garden. The album, once overshadowed, is obscure no more! This Expanded Edition features two hours of straight-ahead JB, in a setting unique to his other live albums - a night-club rather than a theater or arena. Included is the opening instrumental set, with the boss leading his incredible band from behind the organ, including ten minutes of "Night Train" and, for the first time, the full Star Time portion of the show - highlighted by an unedited version of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag." Also includes tracks left off the original LP including "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" and "Come Rain or Come Shine," and some alternate versions of what was included on the album. Closing Disc Two is the full version of the hit single "Let Yourself Go," plus a revealing instrumental warm-up, recorded in an empty Casino after one of the shows that weekend.
