With the line-up of Phil Manning (guitar, vocals), Warren Morgan (electric piano), Glyn Mason (guitar, vocals), Barry 'Big Goose' Sullivan (bass) and Barry 'Little Goose' (drums), 'Live Chain' is a terrific document of this short-lived version of the band (both Morgan & Mason had left by the LPs release). The album was recorded live to two-track at Caesar's Palace, Sydney on July 1970 for $32.00. For those who are only familiar with Chain via their 1971 breakthrough album 'Toward The Blues', they may be surprised at how progressive this album is - a sound not too dissimilar to Blind Faith - with an added twin guitar attack. It is still rooted in the blues, with some awesome extended soloing, but some of Morgan's piano is decidedly funky, whilst the riff-tastic 'Pilgrimage' would not sound out of place on Kahvas Jute's 'Wide Open'. Added to the deluxe reissue is a track left off the original, probably due to time constraints : 'On The Road Again' plus their very first single from 1969; 'Show Me Home'/ 'Mr. Time'. The line-up was Manning, Morgan and Harvey with Claude Papesch (organ) and Tim Piper (bass). Morgan and Papesch's piano/organ interplay was reminiscent of The Band, while 'Mr. Time' is positively psychedelic!
