The Chambers Brothers Stop The Vietnam War Benefit. Live at the Cathedral Of St John The Divine, New York City, NY; 1971. Good to very good FM broadcast. "Here's a good Chambers Brothers show from 1971... It's an FM but the mix is uneven throughout. Not bad though and quite rare." -intro 00:52 Boogie Chillin' 05:10 untitled 11:33 Let It Shine 16:41 untitled 23:18 Love Peace And Happiness 42:32 crowd 55:24 Time -outro From the wikipedia: The Chambers Brothers are a soul-music group, best known for its 1968 hit record, the 11-minute long song "Time Has Come Today". The group was part of the wave of new music that integrated American blues and gospel traditions with modern psychedelic and rock elements. Based on their Southern roots, the brothers brought a raw authenticity to their recordings and live performances that was missing from many other acts of that era. Their music has been kept alive through heavy use in film sounds. In 2003, the home of Lola and Lester Chambers was broken in to and their record collection, consisting of over 60 Chambers Brothers albums and over 100 singles, was stolen. Lola Chambers had spent 25 years collecting Chambers Brothers records at various venues to leave these for their sons. Lester Chambers developed a number of medical problems that went untreated because he lacked insurance. He later became homeless, sleeping in a rehearsal hall in Novato, California, until Yoko Ono paid to rent a home for him and his son Dylan.
