A new installment in the Syd Kitchen digital archive series, celebrating what would have been his 70th solar orbit in 2021. This cassette-only release from 3rd Ear Music documents an acoustic set at Le Plaza Hotel in Durban in 1992 with the "no effects or overdubs" aesthetic of the era's unplugged ethos. Syd visits 1970s material from the Kitchen Brothers, dips into his 1987 album Waiting for the Heave and debuts material that would end up on AmaKoologiK in 1999. Raw live energy and audience engagement abounds with an amusing epiphany about vegetarianism and impromptu guest appearances. Notable too is a bonus track featuring an early incarnation of the Aquarian Quartet with Steve Newman and Tony Cox joining Syd as the Flying Sombreros. Restored with the support of producer and engineer David Marks from his original 2-track DAT recording.
