Atomic Rooster

On November 30, 1971, Atomic Rooster showcased their electrifying performance in London, which is captured in the live recording of 'This Name.' At this point in their career, the band had recently released their third studio album, 'In Hearing of Atomic Rooster,' earlier that year. This album highlighted their unique blend of progressive rock and heavy metal, underscored by Vincent Crane's intense keyboard work and the powerful drumming of Carl Palmer. Interestingly, this live performance comes just before the band underwent significant lineup changes, making this moment a pivotal point in their artistic journey. The combination of their raw energy and Crane's compelling songwriting shines through in this recording, reflecting a band that was on the cusp of widespread recognition.
