First Live Album to Feature a New Studio Track:
The Cowsills
The Cowsills in Concert (1969)
How many times have you said to yourself, "Gee, I really dig Cream, but just for once I'd like to hear 'Sunshine of Your Love' done the Cowsills way?" Plenty, I'll bet! Having already used up the stopgap greatest-hits option, the Cowsills opt to record a whole album of other people's hits live and toss on the studio version of their last hit "Hair" (which came too late to be included on their original best-of). Bill Cowsill sounds like Lawrence Welk on the intros ("Right now Bob's gonna do a very pretty song about a very pretty lady," "That's sockin' it to 'em, Barry"), but on the plus side, they sing and play "Paperback Writer" way better than the Beatles did on their last tour.
