Atomic Rooster

During the summer of 1972, Atomic Rooster was riding the wave of their album 'In Hearing Of Atomic Rooster,' released that same year. This album, featuring the hit 'Tomorrow Night,' showcased the band's distinctive blend of hard rock and progressive elements. The live recording of 'A Spoonful of Bromide Helps the Pulse Rate Go Down' at the BBC captures their dynamic energy during this period, emphasizing how they thrived in live settings. It’s interesting to note that the band’s lineup had been in flux, with founder Vincent Crane at the helm, supported by different musicians. This era reflects a transitional phase for Atomic Rooster, especially as they began to solidify their unique sound amidst numerous lineup changes. The performance not only resonates with fans but also highlights the band's growth and their ability to captivate audiences during live shows.
