So weird that this is from Chicago given what they evolved into. Wasn't really feeling it at all but I actually loved Beginning, has a strong Mingus energy which I loved. Some of these are very strong (e.g. Listen, I'm a Man, Liberation). I'm feeling some of the same things I felt listening to the Allman brothers earlier this week. The solos and jamming out are very impressive and I'm glad that they've been preserved, but they don't necessarily translate as songs I'd like to hear. Free form guitar almost killed all my enjoyment of this though. Really high highs and really low lows, bringing it to a 3 overall.
