New York State Of Mind / The City - Mark Almond (HQ)

From the record "To The Heart"

[darby]

Long decades ago, this album ran non-stop for 2 days in that old open farmhouse. Man, you should have been there! Man oh man...

[briandubois-gilbert]

The vibe takes you to another place, another time, another state of mind. Peace out.

Absolutely the best!! No question ! Loved it from beginning . 70’s

[mcthistled]

my favourite version of this Billy Joel classic

[Marty]

Got drunk in a dive bar with the band after a concert across the street in Encinitas, California in 1972. I was 20 and cooler than shit! They were gentlemen and scholars. Their music stayed with me for decades after...Stay cool brothers and sisters.

Mark-Almond knew the soul of a Fender Rhodes.

Still in my top music list & has been in for decades🌷

Doesn’t get better. No matter where you are, listen to it in a dark room and you’re there…

[zeroohms]

i saw these guys in 1975 or 76, in memphis, tn., at a club called "yosemite sam's". great sounds!

[FrankieFile]

The whole album is fantastic, especially the Billy Cobham on drums songs.

Just the best, man. Makes you want to float away. Used it to open a documentary short I was involved in many years ago.

I have the vinyl copy of Best Of Live The Mark-Almond Band. New York State of Mind/The City is 22+ minutes and is the entire side 2 of the album.
I can't find where this was recorded. The audience applause sounds like the performance was in a small, intimate venue.

[astrotone]

Hauting and emotional. Love the sax solo

[OssMan]

Speaks to the genius of Billy Joel, whether you prefer this version or his. A great song!

[chrisstark]

It's my favorite at well with no disrespect to Billy Joel. Without him, we never get this far.

[daryllawrick]

Fender Rhodes played the way its supposed to be played...

[gregthornton]

saw them do this live in an acoustically designed opera house. nothing like it before or since.

[GregBowders-swei]

Finally a reason for Google's existence, instant gratification for tired, old men

[jimmydburrell]

Absolutely killer version of New York State of Mind. The definitive version if you ask me or Mason "Rocky" Stone.

Real vox, no gimmicks, love it. Modern noise blows
