MC5

In February 1972, when MC5 performed at the Friars Aylesbury, they were in a transitional phase following their release of the album "High Time," which came out in 1971. This album marked a significant moment as it was their last studio album before they disbanded in 1972. "High Time" showcased their raw energy and political messages, which aligned well with the vibrant live performances they were known for, like the one captured in Aylesbury. Interestingly, the MC5 were known for their radical political views and involvement with the White Panther Party, which influenced not only their music but also their stage presence. The performance at this UK venue reflected their status as a cult favorite, known for their high-octane shows and commitment to musical innovation.
