This monumental performance comprised of only six songs in comparison with the ten of It's Your World, but the energy and spirit of that performance evoked acute political and spiritual
awareness, rampaging through global and local injustices with humility and conscience firmly intact.
Klondikis retraspective spotlight captures Heron's mi-stage persona and energy exposing ,an explosive chapter in the life and carat of a lyrical legend. Featuring the complete WRVR-FM broadcast, fully re-mastered.
