Sweet Smoke Live is the third release from the progressive jazz rock band Sweet Smoke. Released in 1974 it was their second record to feature only two tracks, the first being their debut effort Just A Poke. It showcases the bands live talents with extended jamming, the guitar solos are the showcase.[1] It was recorded live in Berlin, Musikhochschule. The last track is actually two songs that were combined during the the LP engineering. The tracks were later listed separately when three additional tracks were added to the 2000 CD re-release. After the 1997 CD re-issue had already used a different cover than the original LP, the cover for the 2000 re-release was changed again, re-using the typographical design of the LP cover.
