Pulled this down to check on the "Yes, We Can Can"- which really has its time and place in a deeper disco setting.  Performance here is as good as on their first record,  more stretched out, with a breakdown which is nice, but perhaps a tiny bit too loose.  The other songs feature them covering the different styles of tradition that they grew up listening to.  Enthusiastic performance and fine rendering to digital



A few seconds of internet searches show that there is some other footage from that year I saw mentioned:.
