The Exile

A brilliant soundboard recording from the Exile On Main St. tour, done in Perth, Australia at the Western Australia Cricket Ground on 24 January, 1973, so no music from Goats Head Soup. The band, which also featured Bobby Keys, Nicky Hopkins, and Jimmy Price, are very energetic. This CD is only a partial document of the Perth show but worth listening to. The success of The Swingin' Pig label continued to impress people in the bootleg world, and they did more until they went on semi-hiatus.

Besides his well known earlier works, Nkosi is still very much an active writer as the publication in 2002 of his novel, Underground People, shows, with his latest novel due out in 2005.
