Atomic Rooster

Atomic Rooster was in a transitional period during the early 1970s, marked by significant changes in lineup and sound. The live recording from the video "Atomic Rooster - Winter [Live]" showcases the band's vibrant performance during 1970-71, a time when they were promoting their album "Death Walks Behind You," released in 1970. This album is notable for its blend of hard rock and progressive influences, featuring tracks like "Tomorrow Night" and "Devil's Answer." The band was known for its distinctive sound, heavily reliant on the keyboards of Vincent Crane, which set them apart from their contemporaries. Interestingly, this performance illustrates Atomic Rooster's evolution as they navigated the dynamic landscape of early 70s rock, highlighting their ability to connect with audiences even during lineup changes that would later characterize their history.
