Texas International Pop Festival, Dallas International Motor Speedway, Lewisville, TX, 8-31-1969, Part 2: Sam & Dave

Posted by on
Here's the second album of the second day of the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival. It's a set by soul music duo Sam and Dave.

Note, by the way, that I don't know the exact order of the performances on the second day, with a couple of exceptions. So this order is just a guess.

We're very lucky to have this album, because there are very few recordings of Sam and Dave performing live in the 1960s prime (at least that are publicly available). They never released a live album, and there are virtually no bootlegs. The only partial exception with bootlegs is a 1967 concert in Norway that I've posted, which includes a Sam and Dave set that lasts only 20 minutes. You can find that here:

Sam and Dave had lots of hits from 1965 to 1969. But they had a change of record companies and producers, and lost the use of some key songwriters who had been working them, and the hits suddenly dried up. They broke up in early 1970, ending their peak era. They got back together multiple times, starting in 1971, but the magic was gone. They basically became an oldies act, doing it to make a living. They typically would show up separately for shows, require separate dressing rooms, not look at each other onstage, and communicate through intermediaries. So it's good to have this recording from the tail end of their peak era, right before everything went to hell for them.

For some reason, a common bootleg of this festival only includes two songs by Sam and Dave, "I've Been Loving You Too Long" and "May I, Baby." But in fact, there are all these songs, with soundboard quality.

This album is 35 minutes long.

01 Sing a Simple Song [Instrumental Version] (Sam & Dave)
02 I Take What I Want (Sam & Dave)
03 talk (Sam & Dave)
04 I've Been Loving You Too Long (Sam & Dave)
05 May I, Baby (Sam & Dave)
06 Soul Man (Sam & Dave)

The cover photo is from this exact concert. As with many of the acts for this festival, I was lucky to find just one photo actually from the festival. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it using the Kolorize program. I also improved the detail with the use of the Krea AI program.
