Recorded at a series of shows in Missouri during March of 1973, the 12 tracks on Archive Alive! capture the group months prior to the making of their first album, performing some surprisingly hard country-rock.

"Country Girl," "Homade Wine," "River to the Sun," and "Mountain Range" are all worthwhile, and one of the better songs on this disc, "Sonora," never made it onto any of the group's records, or even appeared before.
