Recorded at the iconic Ash Grove, Santa Monica, in 1971, this live set has never been released and makes its debut on this vinyl issue.
The setlist features The Sir Douglas Quintet hits 'She's About a Mover’ alongside the later 'Mendocino’ with six more foor- fllers. The band came out of the box swinging in 1965 with the international hit 'She's About a Mover’, charismatically fronted by Doug Sahm alongside Vox organ player Augie Meyers and a trio of talented musicians.
They quickly established a fanbase in Texas before relocating their unique blend of regional Mexican conjunto and British Invasion fash to San Francisco. Legend has it that the group’s style was the innovation of producer Huey P. Meaux, who took a batch of Beatles and wine into a hotel room, emerging with the idea that they rhythmically resembled Cajun dance music – selling the concept to prodigal country artist Doug Sahm.
The Quintet brought their favourful Tex-Mex/British combination in full force to their regular tours, documented on this release during their short trip to the legendary Los Angeles nightclub, Ash Grove, in 1971.
