Details[]
Sweetwater's performance was nothing special. The jams in their longer songs, "What's Wrong" and "Why Oh Why", didn't help much. The multi-vocal parts are rather chaotic. The only noteworthy song is the psychedelic "My Crystal Spider" which includes some strange solo parts. Sweetwater played for about 45 minutes.
Availability[]
There are audience recordings and film outtakes and black/white video available. An official Sweetwater compilation contains the song "What's Wrong".
