What's Going On - Live At The Isle Of Wight

A recording of Taste's legendary performance at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. You'd never know that Taste were about to call it a day after watching their performance here; he trio burns in front of the crowd, which numbered more than a half million people.

Taste's set that day drew from their two albums, and they gave extended workouts to "What's Going On," "Gambling Blues" and "Catfish Blues." The powerhouse rhythm section of bassist Richard McCracken and drummer John Wilson follow Gallagher every step of the way, as the band plays like this is its last hurrah, which it turned out to be (they broke up after this performance). Gallagher would go on to a respected solo career after this, but the rawness of his performance here is jaw-dropping.
